Find the Function f(x)=-7x

$f (x) = - 7 x$

The function $F (x)$ can be found by evaluating the indefinite integral of the derivative $f (x)$ .

$F (x) = \int f (x) d x$

Since $- 7$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $- 7$ out of the integral.

$- 7 \int x d x$

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{2} x^{2}$ .

$- 7 (\frac{1}{2} x^{2} + C)$

Simplify the answer.

Rewrite $- 7 (\frac{1}{2} x^{2} + C)$ as $- 7 (\frac{1}{2}) x^{2} + C$ .

$- 7 (\frac{1}{2}) x^{2} + C$

Simplify.

Combine $- 7$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$\frac{- 7}{2} x^{2} + C$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$- \frac{7}{2} x^{2} + C$

The function $F$ if derived from the integral of the derivative of the function. This is valid by the fundamental theorem of calculus.

$F (x) = - \frac{7}{2} x^{2} + C$
