Hello SFN,
I am an occasional lurker who has a question.
Well, more or less an inconsistency.
This problem was something along the lines of :
Find the anti-derivative of (2x + 1)^3. and the inital value if g(1) = 100
The anti-derivative should be :
((2x + 1)^4) / 8 + c
And c would come out to be 89.875.
I assume we could expand (2x+1)^3 to 8x^3 + 12x^2 + 6x + 1 and proceed to find the anti-derivative, 2x^4 + 4x^3 + 3x^2 + x + c. If we use g(1) = 100, you come up with c = 90.
My question is : where is the 1/8 difference coming from?
Thanks for your help,
RandallJ
