how to calculate the antiderivative of a function in matlab

To calculate the antiderivative of a function in MATLAB, you can use the "int" function which uses symbolic math.

Here's an example code block:

main.m
syms x
f = x^2 + 3*x + 2;          % Define function
F = int(f);                 % Calculate antiderivative
disp(F);                    % Display result

In this example, we define the function f(x) as x^2 + 3x + 2. We then use the "int" function to calculate its antiderivative with respect to x. The resulting antiderivative is stored in F(x), which we then display using the "disp" function.

Note that the antiderivative calculated using the "int" function is a symbolic expression that may need to be simplified or evaluated for specific values of x depending on the context of its use.
