6\text{6}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Simplify the integral expression.

    The given function is f(x)=∫3x4−4x3−x2+1x2d(2x)f(x) = \int \frac{3x^4 - 4x^3 - x^2 + 1}{x^2} d(2x).
    First, rewrite d(2x)d(2x) as 2dx2dx.

    f(x)=∫3x4−4x3−x2+1x2(2dx)f(x) = \int \frac{3x^4 - 4x^3 - x^2 + 1}{x^2} (2dx)

    Factor out the constant 2:

    f(x)=2∫3x4−4x3−x2+1x2dxf(x) = 2 \int \frac{3x^4 - 4x^3 - x^2 + 1}{x^2} dx

    Divide each term in the numerator by x2x^2:

    f(x)=2∫(3x4x2−4x3x2−x2x2+1x2)dxf(x) = 2 \int \left( \frac{3x^4}{x^2} - \frac{4x^3}{x^2} - \frac{x^2}{x^2} + \frac{1}{x^2} \right) dx f(x)=2∫(3x2−4x−1+x−2)dxf(x) = 2 \int \left( 3x^2 - 4x - 1 + x^{-2} \right) dx
  2. Perform the integration.

    Integrate each term:

    f(x)=2(3x2+12+1−4x1+11+1−x0+10+1+x−2+1−2+1)+Cf(x) = 2 \left( \frac{3x^{2+1}}{2+1} - \frac{4x^{1+1}}{1+1} - \frac{x^{0+1}}{0+1} + \frac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} \right) + C f(x)=2(3x33−4x22−x−x−11)+Cf(x) = 2 \left( \frac{3x^3}{3} - \frac{4x^2}{2} - x - \frac{x^{-1}}{1} \right) + C f(x)=2(x3−2x2−x−1x)+Cf(x) = 2 \left( x^3 - 2x^2 - x - \frac{1}{x} \right) + C

    Distribute the 2:

    f(x)=2x3−4x2−2x−2x+Cf(x) = 2x^3 - 4x^2 - 2x - \frac{2}{x} + C
  3. Use the condition f(1)=2f(1) = 2 to find the constant CC.

    Substitute x=1x=1 into the expression for f(x)f(x):

    f(1)=2(1)3−4(1)2−2(1)−21+Cf(1) = 2(1)^3 - 4(1)^2 - 2(1) - \frac{2}{1} + C 2=2(1)−4(1)−2−2+C2 = 2(1) - 4(1) - 2 - 2 + C 2=2−4−2−2+C2 = 2 - 4 - 2 - 2 + C 2=−6+C2 = -6 + C

    Solve for CC:

    C=2+6C = 2 + 6 C=8C = 8
  4. Write the complete function f(x)f(x).

    Substitute the value of CC back into the function:

    f(x)=2x3−4x2−2x−2x+8f(x) = 2x^3 - 4x^2 - 2x - \frac{2}{x} + 8
  5. Calculate f(−1)f(-1).

    Substitute x=−1x=-1 into the function:

    f(−1)=2(−1)3−4(−1)2−2(−1)−2−1+8f(-1) = 2(-1)^3 - 4(-1)^2 - 2(-1) - \frac{2}{-1} + 8 f(−1)=2(−1)−4(1)−(−2)−(−2)+8f(-1) = 2(-1) - 4(1) - (-2) - (-2) + 8 f(−1)=−2−4+2+2+8f(-1) = -2 - 4 + 2 + 2 + 8 f(−1)=−6+4+8f(-1) = -6 + 4 + 8 f(−1)=−2+8f(-1) = -2 + 8 f(−1)=6f(-1) = 6

    The final answer is 6\text{6}.
