Homework Statement


Evaluate the integral.
Integral = x f(x) dx from 0 to 1 when f(1) = 6, f'(1) = 7.
Answer choices:
A. 11/6 + 1/6 integral from 0 to 1 x^3f''(x)dx
B. 11/12 - 1/6 integral from 0 to 1 x^3f''(x)dx
C. 11/3 + 1/2 integral from 0 to 1 x^2f'(x)dx
D. 11/3 - 1/2 integral from 0 to 1 x^2f'(x)dx
E. 11/4 - 1/2 integral from 0 to 1 x^2f"(x)dx

The Attempt at a Solution


So just by looking at the answer choices, the method is integration by parts. Based on what was given, I determined that f(x)=x^2+5x. But that would give an integral of x(x^2+5x), which doesn't even need integration by parts to solve. I am stuck here and don't know how the answer choices are gotten.

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
