f(x) = 3/2 x^2 - 4x + 4f(x)=32x2−4x+4
Explanation:
using
int ax^n dx = (ax^(n+1))/(n+1) + c ∫axndx=axn+1n+1+c this is standard integral where c is the constant of integration
then
int(3x - 4 ) dx = 3/2 x^2 - 4x + c ∫(3x−4)dx=32x2−4x+c f(2) = 2 , allows c , to be found
hence :
3/2 .4 - 4(2) + c = 2 32.4−4(2)+c=2 6 - 8 + c = 2 → c = 4
rArr int(3x - 4)dx = 3/2 x^2 - 4x + 4 ⇒∫(3x−4)dx=32x2−4x+4
