Constant Multiple Rule For Integration

All of the following statements regarding the integration of a constant multiple of a function are true EXCEPT:

  1. A.

    When integrating a constant times a function, you must square the constant, so that $$\int k * f(x) dx = k^2 * \int f(x) dx.$$

  2. B.

    For example, $$\int 3*x^2 dx = 3*\frac{x^3}{3} + C = x^3 + C.$$
