Answer

$f(x) = \frac{1}{4}x^5+\frac{1}{2}x^4+x^2-\frac{27}{4}x+3$

Work Step by Step

$f''(x) = 5x^3+6x^2+2$ $f'(x) = \int (5x^3+6x^2+2)~dx = \frac{5}{4}x^4+2x^3+2x+C_1$ $f(x) = \int (\frac{5}{4}x^4+2x^3+2x+C_1)~dx = \frac{1}{4}x^5+\frac{1}{2}x^4+x^2+C_1x+C_2$ Note that $f(0) = 3$ We can find the value of $C_2$: $f(0) = \frac{1}{4}(0)^5+\frac{1}{2}(0)^4+(0)^2+C_1(0)+C_2 = 3$ $C_2 = 3$ Note that $f(1) = -2$ We can find the value of $C_1$: $f(1) = \frac{1}{4}(1)^5+\frac{1}{2}(1)^4+(1)^2+C_1(1)+3 = -2$ $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}+1+C_1+3 = -2$ $\frac{19}{4}+C_1 = -2$ $C_1 = -2-\frac{19}{4}$ $C_1 = -\frac{27}{4}$ Therefore: $f(x) = \frac{1}{4}x^5+\frac{1}{2}x^4+x^2-\frac{27}{4}x+3$
