Answer:
-36
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to integrate f'(x) to find f(x), and then evaluate f(3) and f(-1) to compute the expression f(3) - f(-1).
Integrating f'(x)=-4x - 5 with respect to x, we get:
f(x) = -2x^2 - 5x + C
Where C is the constant of integration.
To find the value of C, we can use the initial condition f(0) = 1. Substituting x = 0 and f(x) = 1 into the equation above, we get:
1 = -2(0)^2 - 5(0) + C
1 = C
So, we have:
f(x) = -2x^2 - 5x + 1
Now, we can evaluate f(3) and f(-1) and compute f(3) - f(-1):
f(3) = -2(3)^2 - 5(3) + 1 = -32
f(-1) = -2(-1)^2 - 5(-1) + 1 = 4
f(3) - f(-1) = (-32) - 4 = -36
Therefore, f(3) - f(-1) = -36.
