If dy/dx = 2x - 3 and y = 3 when x = 0, find y in terms of x.
The correct answer is D. \(x^2 - 3x + 3\)
To solve this problem, we'll start by integrating the given derivative \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) to find the original function \(y(x)\).
Given: \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x - 3\).
Integrating both sides with respect to \(x\):
\int \frac{dy}{dx} dx = \int (2x - 3) dx\)
y = x^2 - 3x + C\),
where \(C\) is the constant of integration.
Now, we'll use the initial condition \(y = 3\) when \(x = 0\) to find the value of \(C\):
3 = (0)^2 - 3(0) + C\)
C = 3\).
Therefore, the equation of the function \(y(x)\) is:
y(x) = x^2 - 3x + 3\).
