Answer 3

@thomaster

Answer 4

what is our 'antiderivative'? or just integrate

Answer 5

1/3x^3-2x

Answer 6

+C we need to determine C that satisfies the initial condition

Answer 7

oh yeah

Answer 8

so

y = 1/3 x^3 - 2x + C, when x=-1, y=3

what should C be?

Answer 9

-4/3?

Answer 10

maybe :)

3 = -1/3 +2 + C

1 = -1/3 + C

i dont think its -4/3

Answer 11

x is actually 1, y is actually -3 I typed it wrong sorry

Answer 12

pfft, then your on your own :)

Answer 13

y=1/3x^3-2x-4/3, thanks for the help :)

Answer 14

yep ;)
