Differentiating the above functional equation with respect to x yields f ( x ) = f ( x ) f''(x) = f'(x) since the last integration term is a real constant. We ultimately end up with the general solution f ( x ) = A + B e x , f(x) = A + Be^{x}, which after substituting back into the functional equation produces:

B e x = ( A + B e x ) + 0 2 A + B e x d x 0 = A + ( A x + B e x ) 0 2 0 = 3 A + B ( e 2 1 ) A = ( 1 e 2 3 ) B . Be^{x} = (A + Be^{x}) + \int_{0}^{2} A + Be^{x} dx \Rightarrow 0 = A + (Ax + Be^{x})|^{2}_{0} \Rightarrow 0 = 3A + B(e^2 - 1) \Rightarrow A = (\frac{1-e^{2}}{3})B.

Taking our given boundary condition, f ( 0 ) = 4 e 2 3 , f(0) = \frac{4-e^{2}}{3}, we now obtain:

f ( 0 ) = A + B e 0 = ( 1 e 2 3 ) B + B = 4 e 2 3 ; f(0) = A + Be^{0} = (\frac{1-e^{2}}{3})B + B = \frac{4-e^{2}}{3};

which yields: A = 1 e 2 3 , B = 1 A = \frac{1-e^{2}}{3}, B = 1 , or f ( x ) = e x + 1 e 2 3 . \boxed{f(x) = e^{x} + \frac{1-e^{2}}{3}}. Finally, 0 1 f ( x ) d x = 0 1 e x + 1 e 2 3 d x = e x + ( 1 e 2 3 ) x 0 1 = ( e 1 ) + 1 e 2 3 . \int_{0}^{1} f(x) dx = \int_{0}^{1} e^{x} + \frac{1-e^2}{3} dx = e^x + (\frac{1-e^2}{3})x|^{1}_{0} = \boxed{(e-1) + \frac{1-e^2}{3}}.
