If you know what \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} is then you can figure out what y was by reversing the rules of differentiation. This is called integration. Functions can be integrated by application of a set of rules. Later in advanced mathematics these rules become a major topic of study. You must use the notation accurately.
