1. **State the problem:** Given the derivative $$f'(x) = 3e^{3x} + \frac{1}{4x - 2}$$, find an antiderivative $$f(x)$$ and the particular solution satisfying $$f\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) = 9.48774$$.
2. **Recall the formula:** To find an antiderivative, integrate the derivative:
$$f(x) = \int f'(x)\,dx = \int \left(3e^{3x} + \frac{1}{4x - 2}\right) dx$$
3. **Integrate each term separately:**
- For $$3e^{3x}$$, use substitution:
Let $$u = 3x$$, then $$du = 3 dx$$, so $$dx = \frac{du}{3}$$.
$$\int 3e^{3x} dx = 3 \int e^{3x} dx = 3 \int e^u \frac{du}{3} = \int e^u du = e^u + C = e^{3x} + C$$
- For $$\frac{1}{4x - 2}$$, use substitution:
Let $$v = 4x - 2$$, then $$dv = 4 dx$$, so $$dx = \frac{dv}{4}$$.
$$\int \frac{1}{4x - 2} dx = \int \frac{1}{v} \frac{dv}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \int \frac{1}{v} dv = \frac{1}{4} \ln|v| + C = \frac{1}{4} \ln|4x - 2| + C$$
4. **Combine the integrals:**
$$f(x) = e^{3x} + \frac{1}{4} \ln|4x - 2| + C$$
5. **Use the initial condition to find $$C$$:**
Given $$f\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) = 9.48774$$,
Calculate:
$$e^{3 \times \frac{3}{4}} = e^{\frac{9}{4}}$$
$$\ln|4 \times \frac{3}{4} - 2| = \ln|3 - 2| = \ln 1 = 0$$
So,
$$9.48774 = e^{\frac{9}{4}} + \frac{1}{4} \times 0 + C = e^{2.25} + C$$
Calculate $$e^{2.25} \approx 9.487735836$$
Then,
$$C = 9.48774 - 9.487735836 = 0.000004164 \approx 0.00000416$$
6. **Final answer:**
$$f(x) = e^{3x} + \frac{1}{4} \ln|4x - 2| + 0.00000416$$
