what does $dx$ mean in: $$\int f(x)dx$$ and is it true that, if $\frac{df(x)}{dx} = g(x)$, then: $$\int g(x)dx = \int df(x)$$

take the XY coordinate system. Integration means the calculation of area basically. So when we use $A=l*b$ in mensuration usually here our breadth is the infinitesimal change in the value of $x$ that is $dx$ into the value of length which is on the $y$ axis and it’s the function $f(x)$.

The entire essence is calculation of area of the continuous bodies. Integration means adding up those infinitely small areas that you calculated to form the entire surface.
