Understand Given Information: Understand the given information.We are given the derivative of a function f(x), which is f′(x)=4ex. We are also given the value of the function at x=2, which is f(2)=16+4e2. We need to find the value of the function at x=0, which is f(0).
Integrate to Find f(x): Integrate the derivative to find the general form of f(x). Since f′(x)=4ex, we integrate to find f(x): f(x)=∫4exdx=4ex+C, where C is the constant of integration.
Find Constant C: Use the given value f(2)=16+4e2 to find the constant C.We plug x=2 into the general form of f(x):16+4e2=4e2+CNow, solve for C:C=16+4e2−4e2C=16
Write Specific Form: Write the specific form of f(x) with the found constant C. Now that we have found C, we can write the specific form of f(x): f(x)=4ex+16
Calculate f(0): Calculate f(0) using the specific form of f(x).We plug x=0 into the specific form of f(x):f(0)=4e0+16Since e0=1, we have:f(0)=4(1)+16f(0)=4+16f(0)=20
