The slope f '(x) at each point (x, y) on a curve. y = f (x) is given along with a particular point (a, b) on the curve. Use this information to find f (x).

[CLO-3] f '(x) = 9 x 2 + 4 x - 4; (0, -7)

By the fundamental theorem of calculus,

f(x) = f (0) + ∫₀ˣ f '(t) dt

We're given that the plot of f(x) passes through the point (0, -7), so f (0) = -7, and

f(x) = -7 + ∫₀ˣ (9t ² + 4t - 4) dt

f(x) = -7 + (3t ³ + 2t ² - 4t )|₀ˣ

f(x) = -7 + (3x ³ + 2x ² - 4x)

f(x) = 3x ³ + 2x ² - 4x - 7
