Answer

$$f(x)= \frac{1}{6}x^3-\cos x+2x+1$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ f''(x) = x + \cos x,\ \ \ f(0)=1,\ \ f'(0)=2$$ Since \begin{align*} f'(x)&=\int f''(x)dx\\ &=\int (x+\cos x)dx\\ &=\frac{1}{2}x^2+\sin x+c \end{align*} Since $f'(0)=2$ , then $c=2$ and \begin{align*} f(x)&=\int f'(x)dx\\ &=\int (\frac{1}{2}x^2+\sin x+2)dx\\ &= \frac{1}{6}x^3-\cos x+2x+c_1 \end{align*} Since $f'(0)=0$ , then $c_1=1$ and $$f(x)= \frac{1}{6}x^3-\cos x+2x+1$$
