Gonna need some paper for this one! Bear with me

OpenStudy (zenmo):

\[f ' (x) =4x+sinx+C\] \[f(x)=2x^2-cosx+Cx+D\] \[f(0) =2(o)^2-\cos(0)+C(o)+D=-1\] \[0-1+O+D=-1\] \[D=0\] --------------------- \[f(7\pi/2)=2(7\pi/2)^2-\cos(7\pi/2)+(7\pi/2)C+D=0\] \[2\frac{ 14\pi^2 }{ 4 }-0+(7\pi/2)C=0\] \[\frac{ 28\pi^2 }{ 4 }-0+(7\pi/2)C=0\] \[7\pi^2+(7\pi/2)C=0\] \[(7\pi/2)C=-7\pi^2\] \[C=-\frac{ 7\pi^2 }{ 2 }\times \frac{ 2 }{ 7\pi }\] \[C=-7\pi\] \[f(x)=2x^2-cosx-7\pi\]

Here is my attempt, but the answer is wrong.

OpenStudy (zenmo):

ops, 49pi/4*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aww so close man, you're going to kick yourself for this one. Your mistake is on the last line, it should be:\[f(x)=2x^2-cos(x)-7\pi x\]

OpenStudy (zenmo):

I'm going to redo the problem, 2(7pi)/2)^2= is 98pi/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What you did was right, you just missed the x on the end. f(x)=2x^2−cosx+Cx+D.

OpenStudy (zenmo):

isn't \[2\times(\frac{ 7\pi }{ 2 })^2=\frac{ 98\pi^2 }{ 4 }\] and not \[\frac{ 28\pi^2 }{ 4 }\]?

OpenStudy (zenmo):

@tom982

OpenStudy (zenmo):

okay, even with (98pi^2/4), it is still -7pi

OpenStudy (zenmo):

I see the answer now, thanks! :0

OpenStudy (zenmo):

I was redoing the problem by using 98pi^2/4 instead of 28pi^2/4. So, it took me a while to respond back. Hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe my working will help: \[f''(x)=4+\cos(x)\]\[f'(x)=4x+\sin(x)+c\]\[f(x)=2x^2-\cos(x)+cx+d\] \[f(0)=-1=0-1+0+d \]\[d=0\] \[f(\dfrac{7\pi}{2})=0=2(\dfrac{7\pi}{2})^2-cos(\dfrac{7\pi}{2})+\dfrac{7\pi}{2}c+d\]\[0=2(\dfrac{7\pi}{2})^2+\dfrac{7\pi}{2}c\]\[2(\dfrac{7\pi}{2})^2=-\dfrac{7\pi}{2}c\]\[2\dfrac{7\pi}{2}=-c\]\[c=2\dfrac{7\pi}{2}=7\pi \] Looking back at your work, you made a mistake and accidentally found the right answer: \[(7\pi/2)C=-7\pi^2\]\[C=-\frac{ 7\pi^2 }{ 2 }\times \frac{ 2 }{ 7\pi } \] You've divided by 2 out of nowhere.
