Math Problem Statement

consider the function f(x) whose second derivative is f''(x)=5x+8sin(x) if f(0)=4 and f'(0)=2 what is f(x)

Solution

We are given the second derivative of the function f(x)f(x) as:

f(x)=5x+8sin(x)f''(x) = 5x + 8\sin(x)

and the initial conditions:

f(0)=4,f(0)=2.f(0) = 4, \quad f'(0) = 2.

To find f(x)f(x), we will integrate the second derivative step by step.

Step 1: Find the first derivative f(x)f'(x)

Since f(x)=5x+8sin(x)f''(x) = 5x + 8\sin(x), we integrate it to get f(x)f'(x):

f(x)=(5x+8sin(x))dx.f'(x) = \int (5x + 8\sin(x)) \, dx.

We perform the integration:

5xdx=5x22,8sin(x)dx=8cos(x).\int 5x \, dx = \frac{5x^2}{2}, \quad \int 8\sin(x) \, dx = -8\cos(x).

Thus, we have:

f(x)=5x228cos(x)+C1,f'(x) = \frac{5x^2}{2} - 8\cos(x) + C_1,

where C1C_1 is a constant of integration.

Step 2: Apply the initial condition f(0)=2f'(0) = 2

To determine C1C_1, use the initial condition f(0)=2f'(0) = 2:

f(0)=5(0)228cos(0)+C1=2.f'(0) = \frac{5(0)^2}{2} - 8\cos(0) + C_1 = 2.

Since cos(0)=1\cos(0) = 1, this simplifies to:

8+C1=2C1=10.-8 + C_1 = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad C_1 = 10.

Thus, the first derivative is:

f(x)=5x228cos(x)+10.f'(x) = \frac{5x^2}{2} - 8\cos(x) + 10.

Step 3: Find the function f(x)f(x)

Next, we integrate f(x)f'(x) to get f(x)f(x):

f(x)=(5x228cos(x)+10)dx.f(x) = \int \left( \frac{5x^2}{2} - 8\cos(x) + 10 \right) \, dx.

Performing the integration:

5x22dx=5x36,8cos(x)dx=8sin(x),10dx=10x.\int \frac{5x^2}{2} \, dx = \frac{5x^3}{6}, \quad \int -8\cos(x) \, dx = -8\sin(x), \quad \int 10 \, dx = 10x.

Thus, we have:

f(x)=5x368sin(x)+10x+C2,f(x) = \frac{5x^3}{6} - 8\sin(x) + 10x + C_2,

where C2C_2 is a constant of integration.

Step 4: Apply the initial condition f(0)=4f(0) = 4

To determine C2C_2, use the initial condition f(0)=4f(0) = 4:

f(0)=5(0)368sin(0)+10(0)+C2=4.f(0) = \frac{5(0)^3}{6} - 8\sin(0) + 10(0) + C_2 = 4.

Since sin(0)=0\sin(0) = 0, this simplifies to:

C2=4.C_2 = 4.

Final Solution

Thus, the function f(x)f(x) is:

f(x)=5x368sin(x)+10x+4.f(x) = \frac{5x^3}{6} - 8\sin(x) + 10x + 4.
