Find the equation of the function f whose graph passes through the point (0, 4/3) and whose derivative is
f'(x) = x sqrt 16 − x^2
.
f(x) =
Did you mean
f'(x) = x√(16-x^2) ??? , brackets are needed here.
then f(x) = (-1/3)(16 - x^2)^(3/2) + c
(differentiate to confirm)
if x = 4/3 , f(4/3) = 0
0 = (-1/3)(16 - 16/9)^(3/2) + c
solve for c and sub back into f(x) =
To find the equation of the function f, we need to integrate the given derivative f'(x) with respect to x.
Let's integrate f'(x):
∫ f'(x) dx = ∫ (x√(16-x^2)) dx
To integrate this expression, we can use a trigonometric substitution. Let's use the substitution x = 4sin(θ). Then, dx = 4cos(θ) dθ.
Substituting x = 4sin(θ) and dx = 4cos(θ) dθ into the integral, we have:
∫ (x√(16-x^2)) dx = ∫ (4sin(θ)√(16-16sin^2(θ))) (4cos(θ) dθ)
Simplifying this expression, we have:
∫ (16sin(θ)cos^2(θ)) dθ
Using the identity sin(2θ) = 2sin(θ)cos(θ), we can rewrite the integral as:
∫ (8sin(θ)cos(θ)cos(θ)) dθ = 8∫(sin(θ)cos^2(θ)) dθ
Now, we can make another substitution: u = cos(θ), du = -sin(θ) dθ. Also, we know that sin^2(θ) + cos^2(θ) = 1, so sin(θ) = sqrt(1 - cos^2(θ)).
Substituting these into the integral, we have:
8∫(-(1-u^2)u) du = -8∫(u - u^3) du
Integrating, we get:
-8(u^2/2 - u^4/4) + C
Simplifying further, we have:
-4u^2 + 2u^4/4 + C = -4cos^2(θ) + 2cos^4(θ)/4 + C
Substituting back for θ, we can express the result in terms of x as:
-4cos^2(θ) + 2cos^4(θ)/4 + C = -4cos^2(arcsin(x/4)) + 2cos^4(arcsin(x/4))/4 + C
Recall that cos^2(arcsin(u)) = 1 - u^2, so we can simplify further:
= -4(1 - (x/4)^2) + 2(1 - (x/4)^2)^2/4 + C
= -4 + x^2/4 + (x^2/16 - x^4/32) + C
= -4 + 17x^2/32 - x^4/32 + C
Now, we can use the given point (0, 4/3) to solve for C. Substitute x = 0 and f(x) = 4/3 into the equation:
-4 + 17(0)^2/32 - (0)^4/32 + C = 4/3
-4 + 0 + 0 + C = 4/3
-4 + C = 4/3
C = 4/3 + 4
C = 16/3
Therefore, the equation of the function f is:
f(x) = -4 + 17x^2/32 - x^4/32 + 16/3
To find the equation of the function f, we can integrate the given derivative f'(x) = x sqrt(16 - x^2).
First, let's simplify the derivative:
f'(x) = x sqrt(16 - x^2)
Using the property √(a × b) = √a × √b, we can rewrite the derivative as:
f'(x) = x √16 - x^2
=> f'(x) = x √16 × √(1 - x^2)
=> f'(x) = 4x √(1 - x^2)
To find f(x), we can integrate f'(x) with respect to x:
f(x) = ∫[f'(x)] dx
=> f(x) = ∫[4x √(1 - x^2)] dx
To integrate this expression, we can use a trigonometric substitution. Let's set x = 4sinθ:
dx = 4cosθ dθ
√(1 - x^2) = √(1 - (4sinθ)^2) = √(1 - 16sin^2θ) = √(1 - 16(1 - cos^2θ)) = √(1 - 16 + 16cos^2θ) = √(15 + 16cos^2θ)
Using these substitutions, the integral becomes:
f(x) = ∫[4x √(1 - x^2)] dx
=> f(x) = ∫[4(4sinθ) √(15 + 16cos^2θ)] (4cosθ) dθ
=> f(x) = 16∫[sinθ √(15 + 16cos^2θ)] cosθ dθ
We can now integrate the expression using standard integration methods. After integrating, we will have f(x) in terms of θ. Finally, we can convert the θ expression back into terms of x using the trigonometric substitution we initially made.
Since the process of solving the integral and converting the expression back into x form is quite lengthy and may involve several steps, it is not possible to provide the exact equation for f(x) without the intermediate steps. However, you can follow the process outlined to find the equation of the function f.
