Find the antiderivative F of f that satisfies the given condition. Check your answer by comparing the graphs of f and F. f(x) = 5x^4 − 4x^5, F(0) = 6
so you take the integral (antiderivative) but you'll get a constant. Sub zeros in for all your x's and set you y to 6 and you'll be able to solve the constant
Your familiar with the power rule for antiderivatives?
no, we literally just started them.
have you covered derivatives?
yes
ok so the power rule states: \[\huge{\frac{d}{dx}x^n=nx^{n-1}}\] so you drop the exponent in front and reduce the exponent by one
antiderivative would be just the opposite. For the antiderivative you first increase the exponent by one and then 'divide' by that new exponent
ohh okay!
\[\huge{\int\limits_{}^{}x^n=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}}\]
You'll do that for each term, and introduce the c as a constant of integration
