What is the primary role of integrals in calculus?

• To find the slope of a curve

• To determine the area under a curve

• To solve linear equations

• To calculate the maximum value of a function

How is velocity related to acceleration in terms of integrals?

• Velocity is unrelated to acceleration

• Velocity is the square of acceleration

• Velocity is the integral of acceleration

• Velocity is the derivative of acceleration

What is the integral of a constant function?

• Zero

• The constant itself

• A linear function

• An exponential function

What does the constant 'C' represent in the context of integrals?

• An arbitrary constant that accounts for all possible vertical shifts

• The slope of the tangent line

• The maximum value of the function

• The initial value of the function

Which rule can be used to find the integral of a polynomial function?

• Product rule

• Quotient rule
