Answer :
The function f(x) satisfies the given differential equation and the initial condition is:
f(x) = [tex](76/e^{(8 * 16)})[/tex] ×[tex]e^{(8x)}[/tex]
The given differential equation is f'(x) = 8f(x). To solve this, we use the separation of variables:
f'(x)/f(x) = 8
Integrating both sides with respect to x, we get:
ln|f(x)| = 8x + C
where C is the constant of integration. Solving for f(x), we get:
f(x) = [tex]Ce^{(8x)}[/tex]
where C = f(0) is the initial value. To find C, we use the given condition that f(16) = 76:
f(16) = [tex]Ce^{(8*16)}[/tex] = 76
Solving for C, we get:
C = [tex]76/e^{(8*16)}[/tex]
Substituting this value of C in the expression for f(x), we get:
f(x) = [tex](76/e^{(8 * 16)})[/tex] ×[tex]e^{(8x)}[/tex]
