Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the integral to be solved: \( \int -300 \, dx \). This is an indefinite integral, meaning we are looking for a function whose derivative is \(-300\).
Recognize that \(-300\) is a constant. The integral of a constant \(a\) with respect to \(x\) is \(ax + C\), where \(C\) is the constant of integration.
Apply the rule for integrating a constant: \( \int a \, dx = ax + C \). In this case, \(a = -300\), so the integral becomes \(-300x + C\).
Understand that the constant of integration \(C\) is added because the derivative of any constant is zero, and thus it accounts for all possible antiderivatives.
Conclude that the indefinite integral of \(-300\) with respect to \(x\) is \(-300x + C\), where \(C\) is an arbitrary constant.
