Find Derivative of f(x): We know the derivative of f(x), which is f′(x)=−x24. We need to find f(1).
Use Derivative to Find Rate of Change: Since we have f(2)=4, we can use the derivative to find the rate of change of the function, but we can't directly find f(1) from f′(x) without integrating.
Integrate f′(x) to Find f(x): Let's integrate f′(x) to get f(x). The integral of f′(x)=−x24 is f(x)=x4+C, where C is the constant of integration.
Find Constant C: We can find the constant C by using the given point f(2)=4. Plugging in the values, we get 4=24+C, which simplifies to 4=2+C.
Calculate f(1): Solving for C, we get C=4−2, which is C=2.
Calculate f(1): Solving for C, we get C=4−2, which is C=2.Now we have the function f(x)=x4+2. We can find f(1) by plugging in x=1.
Calculate f(1): Solving for C, we get C=4−2, which is C=2.Now we have the function f(x)=x4+2. We can find f(1) by plugging in x=1.f(1)=14+2, which simplifies to f(1)=4+2.
Calculate f(1): Solving for C, we get C=4−2, which is C=2.Now we have the function f(x)=x4+2. We can find f(1) by plugging in x=1.f(1)=14+2, which simplifies to f(1)=4+2.So, f(1)=6.
