f(x)=((1−2x)/7)  ;    f(4)= −1   _________________________  let   f(x)=ax^2 +bx+c+1  ∫_0 ^(  x) f(x)dx= ((ax^3 )/3)+((bx^2 )/2)+(c+1)x  ⇒  a=(a/3)+(b/2)+(c+1)    ....(i)         b = ((8a)/3)+2b+2(c+1)       ...(ii)        c+1= 9a+((9b)/2)+3(c+1)+1   ..(iii)  solving eq. (i), (ii), (iii)   it is  found  that   a=0 , b = −(2/7)      and    c+1 = (1/7)   so    f(x)= ((1−2x)/7) ;  f(4)= −1 .
