Given Derivative and Function Value: We are given the derivative of a function f(x), which is f′(x)=5ex. We also know the value of the function at x=7, which is f(7)=40+5e7. To find f(0), we need to integrate the derivative f′(x) to get the original function f(x) and then evaluate it at x=0.
Integrating the Derivative: The integral of f′(x)=5ex with respect to x is f(x)=5ex+C, where C is the constant of integration.
Finding the Constant: To find the constant C, we use the known value of f(7)=40+5e7. We substitute x=7 into the integrated function and set it equal to 40+5e7:5e7+C=40+5e7.
Substituting x=0: Solving for C, we subtract 5e7 from both sides of the equation:C=40+5e7−5e7.
Calculating f(0): This simplifies to C=40, since 5e7−5e7=0.
Calculating f(0): This simplifies to C=40, since 5e7−5e7=0.Now we have the original function f(x)=5ex+40. To find f(0), we substitute x=0 into the function:f(0)=5e0+40.
Calculating f(0): This simplifies to C=40, since 5e7−5e7=0.Now we have the original function f(x)=5ex+40. To find f(0), we substitute x=0 into the function:f(0)=5e0+40.Since e0=1, the equation simplifies to:f(0)=5(1)+40.
Calculating f(0): This simplifies to C=40, since 5e7−5e7=0.Now we have the original function f(x)=5ex+40. To find f(0), we substitute x=0 into the function:f(0)=5e0+40.Since e0=1, the equation simplifies to:f(0)=5(1)+40.Calculating the value, we get:f(0)=5+40.
Calculating f(0): This simplifies to C=40, since 5e7−5e7=0.Now we have the original function f(x)=5ex+40. To find f(0), we substitute x=0 into the function:f(0)=5e0+40.Since e0=1, the equation simplifies to:f(0)=5(1)+40.Calculating the value, we get:f(0)=5+40.This gives us the final answer:C=400.
