I am just curious if this could be found (i would type the question ASAP)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second derivative of a polynomial is 3x^5 - 6x^4 + 9x^2 +6x + 4 Find the polynomial Its a just a question i made up is it possible to find it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I just started integration if it was the first derivative it was pretty easy I don't know about the second derivative

hartnn (hartnn):

you just integrate it twice integration is the operation which is inverse of differentiation so to go from 2nd derivative to actual function, you integrate twice, but you will have 2 constants/undetermined values in it

hartnn (hartnn):

from 1st derivative to original function ---integrate once from 2nd derivate to 1st derivative --integrate once so from 2nd derivative to original function ---integrate twice makes sense ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do we do with two constants do we keep them aside?

hartnn (hartnn):

to get the exact values of those 2 constants we need initial values else keep them as general constants, c and c'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

hartnn (hartnn):

initial values like f(0), f'(0)
