Let's call this line y=mx+C, whereby 'm' will be its gradient and 'C' will be its constant.

If this line is parallel to the line you've just mentioned, it will have a gradient 2/3. We know this, because when we re-arrange the equation you've given us, we get...

y-4=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \left( x-3 \right) \\ \\ y-4=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } x-2\\ \\ y=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } x-2+4\\ \\ y=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } x+2

So, at the moment, our parallel line looks like this...

y=(2/3)*x + C

However, you mentioned that this line passes through the point Q(1, -2). If this is the case, for the line (almost complete) above, when x=1, y=-2. With this information, we can figure out the constant of the line we want to find.

-2=(2/3)*(1) + C

Therefore:

C = - 2 - (2/3)

C = - 6/3 - 2/3

C = - 8/3

This means that the line you are looking for is:

y=(2/3)*x - (8/3)

Let's find out if this is truly the case with a handy graphing app... Well, it turns out that I'm correct.

What is the function? F(x)=2x^2-3x+1
olasank [31]

Answer:

To satisfy the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem a function must be continuous in the closed interval and differentiable in the open interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

As f(x)=2x3−3x+1 is a polynomial, it is continuous and has continuous derivatives of all orders for all real x, so it certainly satisfies the hypotheses of the theorem.

To find the value of c, calculate the derivative of f(x) and state the equality of the Mean Value Theorem:

dfdx=4x−3

f(b)−f(a)b−a=f'(c)

f(x)x=0=1

f(x)x=2=3

Hence:

3−12=4c−3

and c=1.
