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

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

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

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

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
