\begin{definition}[Definition:Primitive (Calculus)/Arbitrary Constant]
Let the real or complex function $F$ be a primitive of the function $f$.
From the language in which it is couched, it is apparent that the primitive of a function may not be unique, otherwise we would be referring to $F$ as '''''the'' primitive''' of $f$.
This point is made apparent in Primitives which Differ by Constant: if a function has a primitive, there is an infinite number of them, all differing by a constant.
That is, if $F$ is a primitive for $f$, then so is $F + C$, where $C$ is a constant.
This constant is known as an '''arbitrary constant'''.
