Answer

$f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^2-x^3+4x^4+2x+1$

Work Step by Step

$f''(x) = 1-6x+48x^2$ $f'(x) = \int ( 1-6x+48x^2)~dx = x-3x^2+16x^3+C_1$ Note that $f'(0) = 2$ We can find the value of $C_1$: $f'(0) = (0)-3(0)^2+16(0)^3+C_1 = 2$ $C_1 = 2$ Then: $f'(x) = x-3x^2+16x^3+2$ $f(x) = \int (x-3x^2+16x^3+2)~dx = \frac{1}{2}x^2-x^3+4x^4+2x+C_2$ Note that $f(0) = 1$ We can find the value of $C_2$: $f(0) = \frac{1}{2}(0)^2-(0)^3+4(0)^4+2(0)+C_2 = 1$ $C_2 = 1$ Therefore: $f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^2-x^3+4x^4+2x+1$
