The function to be found has a second derivative f''(x) =
6x + 6
Integrating
f''(x),
f'(x) = Int[ f''(x) dx] = Int[6x + 6
dx]
=> 3x^2 + 6x +
C1
f(x) = Int[ f'(x) dx] = Int [ 3x^2 + 6x + C
dx]
=> x^3 + 3x^2 + C1*x +
C2
As the function has a slope of 2 at (1,
-2)
3*1^2 + 6*1 + C1*x =
-2
=> 3 + 6 + C1*x =
-2
=> 9 + C1*1 =
-2
=> C1 = -11
As the
function passes through (1 , -2)
1^3 + 3*1^2 - 11*1 + C2 =
-2
=> 1 + 3 - 11 + C2 =
-2
=> 4 - 7 + C2 =
-2
=> C2 =
5
The required function is f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2
- 11x + 5
