Question

Find f if f ''(x) = 12x2 + 6x − 4, f(0) = 5, and f(1) = 4

Answer 1

Explanation:

f''(x) = 12x² + 6x - 4

f'(x) = 4x³ + 3x² - 4x + c

f(x) = x⁴ + x³ - 2x² + cx + d

f(0) = 5 = 0⁴ + 0³ - 2×0² + c×0 + d

d = 5

f(1) = 4 = 1⁴ + 1³ - 2×1² + c×1 + 5

4 = 1 + 1 - 2 + c + 5

4 = c + 5

c = -1

f(x) = x⁴ + x³ - 2x² - x + 5
