Given f ' ' ( x ) = − 36 sin ( 6 x ) and f ' ( 0 ) = − 5 and f ( 0 ) = − 6 . Find f ( π/ 6 )

So I found f'(x) from f''(x) to be 6cos(6x)+c

since f'(0=-5 I got 6cos(6*0)+c=-5 where c=-11

so for f'(x)=6cos(6x)-11x+c

f(x)=sin(6x)-11x+c

since f(0)=-6

f(x)=sin(6*0)-11*0+c=-6

c=-6

so f(pi/6)= sin(6*(pi/6)-11(pi/6)-6=-11.7048 which is wrong..

why do you get rid of the sinpi? The asnwer is correct but i'm confused why the sin is taken out when calculating the answer...

Because the sine of pi is equal to 0.
