Answer

$f(t)=-4t^{\frac{1}{2}}+2t+4$

Work Step by Step

$f’’(t)=t^{-\frac{3}{2}},$ $f’(4)=1,$ $f(4)=4$ $f’(t)=\int t^{-\frac{3}{2}}dt$ $f’(t)=-2t^{-\frac{1}{2}}+C_1$ Substitute in $f’(4)=1$ to solve for $C_1$ $1=-2\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}+C_1$ $C_1=2$ $f’(t)=-2t^{-\frac{1}{2}}+2$ $f(t)=\int(-2t^{-\frac{1}{2}}+2)dt$ $f(t)=-4t^{\frac{1}{2}}+2t+C_2$ Substitute in $f(4)=4$ to solve for $C_2$ $4=-4\sqrt4+8+C_2$ $C_2=4$ $f(t)=-4t^{\frac{1}{2}}+2t+4$
