\[\large\rm f'(t)=2\cos t+\sec^2t,\qquad\qquad f\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=4\]So what are you stuck on? :o
OpenStudy (kayders1997):
I think I did the f(t) right
OpenStudy (kayders1997):
F(t)=2sint+tan(t)+c?
OpenStudy (kayders1997):
Is that right? :O

k good
zepdrix (zepdrix):
So we have a "general solution".\[\large\rm f(t)=2\sin t+\tan t+c\]They gave us `initial data` which we can use to figure out the unknown constant.
This will give us a "particular solution"
OpenStudy (kayders1997):
:O
OpenStudy (kayders1997):
So does it have to equal 4?
OpenStudy (kayders1997):
Hmmmm no?

it has to equal 4 when \(t=\frac{\pi}{3}\)
OpenStudy (kayders1997):
So the t will be pi/3 and the whole thing equals 4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, then you can solve for \(C\)
OpenStudy (kayders1997):
Okay so
OpenStudy (kayders1997):
Square root of 3+1=4
