Find f(x) if f(0)=1 and the tangent line at (x, f(x)) has slope 7x. Its been a long while since I have done one of these somebody please help!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the slope \(7\) ? \(7x\) is not a slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe... the problem says 7x... let me see if I can send you a screenshot

OpenStudy (ranga):

f'(x) = 7x Integrate both sides to find f(x). Put x = 0, y = 1 and find the constant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh that is an entirely different question the anti derivative is \(\frac{7x^2}{2}+C\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you can solve for \(C\) since \[f(0)=1=C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will be \[\frac{ 7x^{2} }{ 2 }+1\]???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I need to further simplify it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or leave it as is?
