The weight of an object is the product of its mass and the acceleration of gravity.
If g[e] is the acceleration of gravity on earth, and g[M] the same for Mars and g[m] the same for the moon,
then m[M]=m[e]g[M]/g[e] and m[m]=m[e]g[m]/g[e] where m[ ] denotes mass. Note that weight=mg (measured in newtons) while mass is in kilograms.
If g[M]=g[e]/3 and g[m]=g[e]/6 approximately. Then the weight of an object on Mars will be about a third of what it is on earth, while on the moon it would be about a sixth of what it is on earth.
Slope of the given line = 4
slope of the req. line = 4
equation of the line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 8 = 4(x - 3)
y + 8 = 4x - 12
4x - y - 12 - 8 = 0
4x - y - 20 = 0

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The extrema will be at the ends of the interval or at a critical point within the interval.
The derivative of the function is ...
f'(x) = 3x² -4x -4 = (x -2)(3x +2)
It is zero at x=-2/3 and at x=2. Only the latter critical point is in the interval. Since the leading coefficient of this cubic is positive, the right-most critical point is a local minimum. The coordinates of interest in this interval are ...
f(0) = 2
f(2) = ((2 -2)(2) -4)(2) +2 = -8 +2 = -6
f(3) = ((3 -2)(3) -4)(3) +2 = -3 +2 = -1
The absolute maximum on the interval is f(0) = 2.
The absolute minimum on the interval is f(2) = -6.
