Q. The derivative of the function f is defined by f′(x)=(x3+3x)cos(3x+4). If f(3)=−4, then use a calculator to find the value of f(−2) to the nearest thousandth.Answer:
Integrate f′(x) for f(x): To find f(−2), we need to integrate f′(x) to get f(x) and then use the initial condition f(3)=−4 to find the constant of integration.
Non-standard integral: The integral of f′(x) is the integral of (x3+3x)cos(3x+4). This requires integration by parts or a substitution method. However, this is a non-standard integral that does not have a simple antiderivative, so we cannot proceed with this step directly.
Numerical integration approximation: Since we cannot find an explicit form for f(x), we will use numerical methods to approximate the value of f(−2). We can use numerical integration techniques to approximate the integral of f′(x) from 3 to −2.
Perform numerical integration: We will use a calculator to perform the numerical integration of f′(x) from 3 to −2. The result of this integration will give us the change in f(x) from f(3) to f(−2).
Calculate f(−2): After performing the numerical integration, we add the result to the initial value f(3)=−4 to find f(−2). Let's assume the calculator gives us the value of the integral as I. Then f(−2)=f(3)+I.
Calculate f(−2): After performing the numerical integration, we add the result to the initial value f(3)=−4 to find f(−2). Let's assume the calculator gives us the value of the integral as I. Then f(−2)=f(3)+I.Unfortunately, without an actual calculator or numerical integration software, we cannot provide the numerical value of the integral I, and thus cannot provide the value of f(−2). This step requires the use of technology to complete.
