It is possible to find an integration formula for a function if it is unknown by first taking the derivative. For example, the antiderivative of ex is known to be ex + c, but the antiderivative of ekx is unknown or not immediate.
We know that the derivative of ekx is kekx. So, from this we see that the derivative of ekx/k is k*(1/k)ekx = ekx. From this, you can see that the antiderivative of ekx is ekx/k + c.
