Answer

f(x)=x33+2x+8 is the function that satisfies the given conditions.

Steps

Step 1 :The problem is asking for a function f(x) such that its derivative is x2+2 and the function evaluated at 0 is 8. To find such a function, we need to integrate the derivative function and then adjust the constant of integration so that f(0)=8.

Step 2 :Integrating the derivative function x2+2 gives us x33+2x+C, where C is the constant of integration.

Step 3 :We then set f(0)=8 to find the value of C. Substituting 0 into the function gives us C=8.

Step 4 :Substituting C=8 back into the function gives us the final function f(x)=x33+2x+8.

Step 5 :f(x)=x33+2x+8 is the function that satisfies the given conditions.
