If ddx[f(x)]=5x4−2x3\dfrac{d}{dx}[f(x)] = 5x^4 - \dfrac{2}{x^3} such that f(−12)=0f\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right) = 0, then f(x)f(x) is equal to

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Integrate: f(x)=∫(5x4−2x−3)dx=x5+x−2+C=x5+1x2+Cf(x)=\int (5x^4-2x^{-3})dx = x^5 + x^{-2} + C = x^5+\dfrac{1}{x^2}+C.

Apply f(−1/2)=0f(-1/2)=0: −132+4+C=0-\dfrac{1}{32} + 4 + C = 0, so C=−12732C = -\dfrac{127}{32}.

Hence f(x)=x5+1x2−12732f(x)=x^5+\dfrac{1}{x^2}-\dfrac{127}{32}.
