  1. A curve has equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x ) , x \geqslant 0\)
Given that
  • \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 4 x + a \sqrt { x } + b\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants
  • the curve has a stationary point at \(( 4,3 )\)
  • the curve meets the \(y\)-axis at - 5
    find \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\), giving your answer in simplest form.
