Question

(a) If f"(x) = x^2 + 3 cos x, f(0) = 2, and f"(0) = 3, find f(x).

(b) Suppose that f(x) = 2x^2 − x^4
. Find the intervals on which f is increasing and those on which it is decreasing.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Define the problem.

Question no. (b):

Suppose that straight f open parentheses straight x close parentheses equals 2 straight x squared minus straight x to the power of 4

To find the intervals on which straight f is increasing and those on which it is decreasing.

Note: Since, student has posted two questions in which the first question is incomplete 

beccause the initial conditions are not given in proper way as in the question straight f apostrophe apostrophe open parentheses 0 close parentheses equals 3 

is given and due to this it is not possible to determine the integration of constant. Actually 

it should be in term of straight f apostrophe open parentheses 0 close parentheses, so we are solving the second question which is a complete question.
