Answer

$$ f^{\prime}(x)=\sqrt{x}(6+5 x), \quad f(1)=10 $$ The required function is $$ f(x) =4 x^{3 / 2}+2 x^{5 / 2}+4 $$

Work Step by Step

$$ f^{\prime}(x)=\sqrt{x}(6+5 x), \quad f(1)=10 $$ can be written as the following: $$ f^{\prime}(x)=\sqrt{x}(6+5 x)=6 x^{1 / 2}+5 x^{3 / 2} $$ The general anti-derivative of $ f^{\prime }(x)=\sqrt{x}(6+5 x) $ is $$ f(x)=4 x^{3 / 2}+2 x^{5 / 2}+C $$ To determine C we use the fact that $f(1)=10$: $$ f(1)=4 (1)^{3 / 2}+2 (1)^{5 / 2}+C =10 $$ $ \Rightarrow $ $$ 6+C=10 \quad \Rightarrow \quad C=4, $$ so $$ f(x) =4 x^{3 / 2}+2 x^{5 / 2}+4 $$
