A function hh is continuous on [0,4][0,4] and differentiable on (0,4)(0,4). Its derivative h′h' is known to be h′(t)=sin⁡(t)+2h'(t)=\sin(t)+2. Two data tables are provided for antiderivatives of h′h': Table A (values of HH)
t01234
H(t)34.686.277.008.24
Table B (values of GG)
t01234
G(t)56.688.279.0010.24
(a) Explain how the tabulated values support the claim that both HH and GG are antiderivatives of h′h'. (b) Using only the information in the tables (no computation of definite integrals allowed), determine G(t)−H(t)G(t)-H(t) for each listed value of tt. (c) State a conjecture about the exact value of G(t)−H(t)G(t)-H(t) for all tt in [0,4][0,4] and justify your reasoning based on the data.
