The integers are therefore -2, -2, 0, 1 and 2

<h3>Linear equation</h3>

Let the five consecutive integers be x-3, x-2, x-1, x and x+1

If the sum of five consecutive integers equals 5.5 times the middle integer, then;

x-3+x-2+x-1+x+x+1 = 5.5(x-1)

5x - 5 = 5.5x - 5.5

Collect the like terms

5x-5.5x = -5.5 + 5

-0.5x = -0.5

x = 1

The integers are therefore -2, -2, 0, 1 and 2

Determine the function f(x) satisfying the given conditions.

Furkat [3]

<span>f''(x) means function is of grade 1
f(x) = ax + b

f'(x) = a
f'(5) = 1 </span>⇒ a = 1

f(4) = -2
f(4) = 1×4 + b
-2 = 4 + b
b = -6

f(x) = x - 6

Which of the following equations matches the function shown above?

Ksenya-84 [330]

So, the function is obviously shifted up by 1 so it rules out A and B, and we also see that the period is 4pi rather than 2pi, and using the fact that:

$\frac{2\pi}{b}=4\pi \implies \frac{b}{2\pi}=\frac{1}{4\pi}\implies b=\frac{1}{2}$

Now that we know our b value, we see that the correct answer would be C.
