Integrate f′(x): To find the value of f(x) at x=0, we need to integrate the derivative f′(x) to get f(x). The derivative f′(x)=12ex is given.Integration of f′(x) will give us f(x)=12ex+C, where C is the constant of integration.
Find Constant of Integration: We are given the value of the function at x=4, which is f(4)=−16+12e4. We can use this information to find the constant of integration C. Let's substitute x=4 into the integrated function f(x)=12ex+C. 12e4+C=−16+12e4
Calculate Complete Function: Solving for C, we subtract 12e4 from both sides of the equation:C=−16+12e4−12e4C=−16
Substitute x=0: Now that we have the constant of integration, we can write the complete function f(x):f(x)=12ex−16
Simplify Expression: To find f(0), we substitute x=0 into the function f(x):f(0)=12e0−16
Simplify Expression: To find f(0), we substitute x=0 into the function f(x): f(0)=12e0−16Since e0 is equal to 1, we can simplify the expression: f(0)=12(1)−16 f(0)=12−16 f(0)=−4
