Alevel math A set of curves that each pass through the origin have equations y=f1(x),
A set of curves that each pass through the origin have equations y=f1(x),f2(x) and f3(x) where f 'n(x)=fn-1(x) and f1(x) =x^2.
a) find f2(x), f3(x)
b)suggest an expression for fn(x)
thanks

Have you tried integration?

what do we integrate and why do we integrate ?

Ghostwalker explained it fairly clearly on the other thread.
You know the derivative, so integrate to get the curve.
so the
derivative is the rate of change, and so because its x2 then we integrate it to get the equation from it? how do we do that for f2(x) and f3(x) do we multiply by 3 or? do we integrate evern further

Have you worked out f2 by integrating f1?
If so, what did you get?

by integrating X2 i get = x^3/3
Original post by interlanken-fall
by integrating X2 i get = x^3/3
and for f3(x) I integrate again = 1X^4/12
I just dont understand why we integrate

Because you're told the
* Derivative of f2 is f1. So integrate (inverse of derivative) to get f2.
* Derivative of f3 is f2, so integrate (inverse of derivative) to get f3
..... And so on ...
