Since the first derivative is a quadratic, then the original
function is a polynomial of 3rd order.
We'll put
f(x):
f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d
To
determine f(x), we'll have to calculate the coefficients a,b,c,d.
We
know, from enunciation, that f(0) = 4.
f(0) = d =>
d = 4
Now, we'll differentiate
f(x):
f'(x) = 3ax^2 + 2bx + c
From
enunciation, we know that: f'(x) = 3x^2 - 5x + 1
We'll
put:
3ax^2 + 2bx + c = 3x^2 - 5x +
1
We'll put the correspondent coefficients as
equal:
3a = 3
a =
1
2b =
-5
b =
-5/2
c =
1
The original function
is:
f(x) = x^3 - 5x^2/2 + x +
4
