Find f.
f ''(x) = 20x^3 + 12x^2 + 4
f(0) = 3
f(1) = 3
My Answer was x^5+x^4-2x+3
my answer was wrong, can someone tell me where I went wrong?

myininaya (myininaya):
f'(x)=20x^4/4+12x^3/3+4x+C=5x^4+4x^3+4x+C
f(x)=5x^5/5+4x^4/4+4x^2/2+Cx+D=x^5+x^4+2x^2+Cx+D

what math are you in Calc I or II
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay I used integration, I'm assuming that you know how?

Yes
myininaya (myininaya):
f(0)=D=3
f(1)=1+1+2+C+3=3 so C=-4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so take the integral of f double prime (c)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean (x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so you get 20x^4/4 + 12x^3/3 + 4x

then simplify and do it once more
OpenStudy (anonymous):
go it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Medal pleaser ^.^
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(x)= x^5+x^4+C(x)+D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Plug f(0) in for x and set it equal to 3 makes D= 3
Plug f(1) in for x and set it equal to 3 makes C= -2
plugging those in was wrong

you are missing 2x^2 in f(x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^5 + x^4 + 2x^2 + c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
myininaya solved it already
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah
myininaya (myininaya):
f(x)=x^5+x^4+2x^2+Cx+D
