Answer

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

Work Step by Step

$$ f^{\prime }(x)=1+3\sqrt {x} $$ The general anti-derivative of $ f^{\prime }(x)=1+3\sqrt {x} $ is $$ \begin{split} f(x)&=x+3\left(\frac{2}{3} x^{3 / 2}\right)+C \\ & =x+2 x^{3 / 2}+C \end{split} $$ To determine C we use the fact that $f(4)=25$: $$ f(x)=(4)+2(4)^{3 / 2}+C=25 $$ $ \Rightarrow $ $$ 20+C=25 \quad \Rightarrow \quad C=5, $$ so the required function is $$ f(x) =x+2 x^{3 / 2}+5 $$
