I'll let you be the hero.

I guess "we must stand fast a little, even at the risk of being heroes".

Bolt demonstrates that although one may not like the idea of being a hero, it is essential that one remains true to themselves-especially in matters related to mathematics-even if it may ultimately result in them being labeled as heroes.

This is not the stuff of which heroes are made

I am a common man. However, a common man without a common sense is but a dead man.

Wouldn't it be safest to write down the +c after you integrate it, and then write down a line saying 'take c=0' ? Covers all the bases :)

Not a bad idea. personally I think having  +c in your asnwer deserves a penalisation.

Yeah, it's clearly wrong.

And they do have some questions which are "an" antiderivative, while others are simply "the" antiderivative; hence I'd assume they do expect different answers..
