# f(x) = 3/2 x^2 - 4x + 4#

Explanation:

using # int ax^n dx = (ax^(n+1))/(n+1) + c #

this is standard integral where c is the constant of integration

then # int(3x - 4 ) dx = 3/2 x^2 - 4x + c #

f(2) = 2 , allows c , to be found

hence : # 3/2 .4 - 4(2) + c = 2 #

6 - 8 + c = 2 → c = 4

#rArr int(3x - 4)dx = 3/2 x^2 - 4x + 4 #
