We have to find f(x).

First we have to integrate f'(x) and then satisfy the initial condition f(0).

Integrating f'(x):


f(x)=\int (x^2+3)dx=(x^3)/(3)+3x+C

We can then replace x with x=0 and f(x) with f(0)=21 to find the value of the constant C:


\begin{gathered} f(0)=21=(0^3)/(3)+3\cdot0+C \\ C=21 \end{gathered}

Then, the function f(x) is:


f(x)=(x^3)/(3)+3x+21

Answer: f(x) = x^3/3 + 3x + 21 (Option A)
