To determine the equation of the curve, we'll have to
determine the antiderivative of the given expression.
Int
dy = Int (4x^3+4x)dx
We'll use the property of integrals to
be additive:
Int (4x^3+4x)dx = Int 4x^3 dx + Int
4xdx
Int (4x^3+4x)dx = 4 Int x^3dx + 4Int
xdx
Int (4x^3+4x)dx = 4*x^4/4 + 4*x^2/2 +
C
We'll simplify and we'll
get:
Int (4x^3+4x)dx = x^4 + 2x^2 +
C
The expression represents a family of curves that depends
on the values of the constant C.
We know, from enunciation
that the point (1 , 4) is located on the curve. Therefore it's coordinates will verify
the equation of the curve.
4 = (1)^4 +2*(1)^2 +
C
4 = 1 + 2 + C
4 = 3 +
C
C = 4 - 3
C =
1
The equation of the curve, whose derivative
is dy/dx=4x^3+4x , is the complete square: y = x^4 + 2x^2 + 1 = (x^2 +
1)^2.
