 I need to find the orginal function of the question

f'(0)=7 implies B = 7 not 8

f"'(x) = cos(x) = f"(x) = -sin(x) + A. f"(0) = 8 =-sin(0) +A where A = 8 So, f"(x) = -sin(x) + 8. Integrating again gives f'(x) = -cos(x) + 8x + B f'(0) = 7 = -cos(0) + 8x + B. where -cos(0) = -1 so, -1 + 0 + B = 7. Then, B = 8 Therefore, f'(x) = -cos(x) + 8x + 8 Also, f(x) = -sin(x) + 4x^2 + 8x. where f(0) = 1 then, -sin(0) + 4(0)^2 + 8(0) + C = 1 so, C = 1 therefore the solution f(x) = -sin(x) + 4x^2 + 8x + 1

Hi Michael, there are constants missing in the general solutions of f and f'. It should be f'(x) = -cos x + Cx + D and f(x) = -sin x + (C/2)x+ Dx + E, where D and E are arbitrary constants.

I believe I used by arbitrary constant terms using an incorrect approach.
