Calculus question...

Find the function S(x), given that S'(x)=5x^2-(2/3) and that S(1)=1

I don't even know where to start with this problem, and unfortunately I missed the answers to the test review last thursday, any help with setting it up would be appreciated.


I'm sure its easier than it seems so go easy on me 🙁...
 
Integrate S'(x). Solve the general form for the specific form (zyx + C) by plugging in 1 for x and setting the equation = 1. Solve for C.
 
I (5x^2-(2/3))dx
f(x)=((5x^3)/3)-(2x/3) + C

((5(1)^3)/3)-(2(1)/3) + C = 1

1+C = 1

1-1 = C

C = 0 ?


Hope that's right, thanks a lot.

Appears to be correct to me.
