The +C still doesn't matter, since the results only differ by a constant ... 1.
You literally just argued why the constant matters
No, I literally pointed out that when someone says the integral of X is Y and Y does not have an arbitrary constant, one is immediately assumed. Just like EVERY SINGLE INTEGRAL in Gradshteyn and Ryzhik.
I agree it’s not necessary when you know what you’re doing. But an exam is literally a demonstration that you know what you’re doing.
I would think the act of integrating something non-trivial would be the demonstration, not mastery of some pedantic bookkeeping. And to be fair, every integral should have a different constant. The fact that C is "an arbitrary constant" is just cargo cult.
The integration constant *is* an arbitrary constant, so I don't quite understand your cult assertion. Addressing your other concern, that's why the +C is always worth a small amount. In my experience I've found that the students whose only complaint is "+C" do just fine.
+A, +B, -D, -(the value of the integral at zero) ... these are all valid constants. I would rather have someone that can get the hard part of an integral right, rather than someone that religiously parrots a +C even if the rest is wrong.
I don't know what assertions you're trying to force me into saying. But if you read my responses you're changing the actual things I'm asserting.
