Find f. f ''(x) = 24x^2 + 2x + 6, f(1) = 2, f '(1) = −3 I know f''(x) = 2x^4+(x^3/3)+3x^2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Did you mean to say f(x) = 2x^4+(x^3/3)+3x^2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes opps

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you integrated properly, but you forgot about the +C both times

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if f ''(x) = 24x^2 + 2x + 6, then what is f'(x) ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

refresh the page if you get weird symbols showing up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f'(x)=8x^3+x^2+6x+C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now use the fact that f'(1) = -3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

to find the value of C in f'(x)=8x^3+x^2+6x+C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like the following? 1=8(-3)^3+(-3)^2+6(-3)+C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the other way around

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x = 1, f ' (x) = -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I got C=-17

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

close

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-18

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

therefore, f ' (x) = 8x^3+x^2+6x-18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I do the anti der of that?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, I got f(x)= 2x^4 + (x^3)/3 + 3x^2 - 18x + c

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

me too

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now use f(1) = 2 to find C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C=44/3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I'm assuming the final answer would be f(x)= 2x^4 + (x^3)/3 + 3x^2 - 18x + 44/3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!
