Answer:

y - 8 = (3/2)(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from (-4, 8) to (2, -1), x increases by 6 (this is the run) and y decreases by 9 (this is the "rise"). Thus, the slope is

m = rise / run = 9/6, or 3/2.

Using the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line, we get:

y - 8 = (3/2)(x + 4)

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

$\displaystyle y = \left(3e^{2x}-4x+1\right)^{{}^1\! / \! {}_2}$

And we want to show that:

$\displaystyle y \frac{d^2y }{dx^2} + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) ^2 = 6e^{2x}$

Instead of differentiating directly, we can first square both sides:

$\displaystyle y^2 = 3e^{2x} -4x + 1$

We can find the first derivative through implicit differentiation:

$\displaystyle 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 6e^{2x} -4$

Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3e^{2x} -2}{y}$

And we can find the second derivative by using the quotient rule:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} & = \frac{(3e^{2x}-2)'(y)-(3e^{2x}-2)(y)'}{(y)^2}\\ \\ &= \frac{6ye^{2x}-\left(3e^{2x}-2\right)\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)}{y^2} \\ \\ &=\frac{6ye^{2x} -\left(3e^{2x} -2\right)\left(\dfrac{3e^{2x}-2}{y}\right)}{y^2}\\ \\ &=\frac{6y^2e^{2x}-\left(3e^{2x}-2\right)^2}{y^3}\end{aligned}$
