Avg difficulty 2.5

Use your knowledge of derivatives of basic functions to complete Table of antiderivatives. For each entry, your task is to find a function FF whose derivative is the given function ff. When finished, use the FTC and the results in the table to evaluate the three given definite integrals.

Familiar basic functions and their antiderivatives.
