Find $\int (f'(x))^2 dx$ and $\int (f''(x))^2 dx$

74 Views Asked by At

I want to find $\int (f'(x))^2 dx$ and $\int (f''(x))^2 dx$

I tried with the first one.

I believed that $\int (f'(x))^2 dx= f(x)+c\;$

for if I put $u=f(x)$ then $du=f'(x)dx$ I get

$$\int (f'(x))^2 dx= \int u'du=u+c=f(x)+c$$

Surely there must be something wrong here. What is it?.

Then how do I solve $\int (f'(x))^2 dx$ or $\int (f''(x))^2 dx$?
