$f(x)=4x^2-x+12$

By using normal rules of integration we can evaluate it as

$f(x)=int(8x-1)dx$

$=4x^2-x+C$ .

But since the initial boundary condition was given, we may substitute it in to find

$f(0)=12iffC=12$

Therefore the required function is

$f(x)=4x^2-x+12$ .

What is f(x) = int 8x-1 dxf(x) = int 8x-1 dx if f(0)=12 f(0)=12 ?
