1. Find the gradient of the tangent to the curve at $x = 1$.
The tangent passes through and .
Gradient of tangent,
Therefore, .
2. Integrate $\mathrm{f}''(x)$ to find the general expression for $\mathrm{f}'(x)$.
3. Find the constant of integration $C$.
Substitute and :
So, .
4. Integrate $\mathrm{f}'(x)$ to find the general expression for $\mathrm{f}(x)$.
5. Find the constant of integration $D$ to determine the equation of the curve.
The curve passes through . Substitute and :
Therefore, the equation of the curve is .
