The trouble is I'm not sure what is being asked of me. More specifically I don't know whether each pair has only one function for an answer or two. Im familiar with computing antiderivatives, but this one its confusing me since its asking for a function that fits certain parameters. I THINK the function I get for an answer should have an expression plus a constant, since anything derived from that constant would be plus zero in the antiderivative (apologies if that made no sense, I may be off in that assumption) If someone could guide me through the first one Im sure I can get the second one on my own. Thanks in advance!

First, you integrate (to find the anti-derivative of the given function) and then put in the given value for $\theta$ and the function, to find the value of the function for the particular solution. $\newcommand{\d}[1]{\, \mathbb{d} #1}$ \begin{align*} f^\prime(\theta) &= 4\theta + \cos\theta \\ \int f^\prime(\theta) \d{\theta} &= \int 4\theta + \cos\theta \d{\theta} \\ f(\theta) &= 2\theta^2 + \sin\theta + c \\ f(0) &= c = 17 \\[12pt] f(\theta) &= 2\theta^2 + \sin\theta + 17 \\ \end{align*}

Wrap your code with [ math ] and [ /math ] tags.
