Confusion regarding the difference between Definite and Indefinite Integration

45 Views Asked by At

So, as we have been taught, the difference between Definite and Indefinite Integration is that Definite integration has limits and Indefinite Integration doesn't have limits. But, say the definite integral is, $$\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} f(x) dx$$ why would it be any different than just integrating it normally as,

$$\int f(x) dx$$

If the bounds themselves in a definite integral are infinite what makes it any different to an indefinite integral.
