question 33

Multiple Choice

Find the particular solution that satisfies the differential equation $f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 2 } x - 5$ and initial condition $f ( 4 ) = - 16$ .

• A) \(f ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 5 } x ^ { 2 } - 5 x\)
• B) \(f ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 7 } x ^ { 2 } + 5 x - 1260\)
• C) \(f ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 4 } x ^ { 2 } - 5 x\)
• D) \(f ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 4 } x ^ { 2 } - 5 x - 1260\)
• E) \(f ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 5 } x ^ { 2 } + 5 x\)
