Answer

$f(x)=x^{5}-x^{3}+4x+6$

Work Step by Step

Find the antiderivative $f'(x)=5x^{4}-3x^{2}+4$ $f(x)=\int5x^{4}-3x^{2}+4dx$ $f(x)=\frac{5x^{4+1}}{4+1}-\frac{3x^{2+1}}{2+1}+4x+C$ $f(x)=\frac{5x^{5}}{5}-\frac{3x^{3}}{3}+4x+C$ Simplify: $f(x)=x^{5}-x^{3}+4x+C$ Find the value of C given $f(-1)=2$ $f(x)=(-1)^{5}-(-1)^{3}+4(-1)+C=2$ $f(x)=-1+1-4+C=2$ $f(x)=-4+C=2$ $C=6$
