Answer

$$f(1)=8$$

Work Step by Step

By the definition of the equation of the tangent line, the slope of that line is $f'(x)$ so: $$f'(x)=3-4x$$ Integrate both sides with respect to $x$: $$\int f'(x)dx=\int (3-4x)dx$$ $$f(x)=3x-4\cdot \frac{x^{2}}{2}+c$$ $$f(x)=3x-2x^{2}+c$$ Use the condition $f(2)=5$ to find $c$. $$f(2)=3\cdot 2-2\cdot 2^{2}+c$$ $$5=3\cdot 2-2\cdot 2^{2}+c$$ $$5=6-8+c$$ $$5=-2+c$$ $$7=c$$ So $$f(x)=3x-2x^{2}+7$$ $$f(1)=3\cdot 1-2\cdot 1^{2}+7=3-2+7=8$$
