Answer:

Use the two ordered pairs to find the slope, m.

Then substitute one set of ordered pairs and m into y = mx + b to solve for b

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are given two ordered pairs of a function and we need to write an equation that represents the linear function, first, what we need to do is to use the two ordered pair to find the slope, m, using the formula, $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ .

After getting the slope (m), find the value of the y-intercept (b), by substituting the value of one of the ordered pairs and the slope value (m) into y = mx + b.

Once the value of m and b is known, plug in the value of m and b into y = mx + b to derive the equation of the linear function.

Use an equation to find the value of k so that the line that passes through the given points has the given slope. (

shutvik [7]

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (4, -4) and (k, -1) and the slope m = 34.

Substitute:

$\dfrac{-1-(-4)}{k-4}=34\\\\\dfrac{3}{k-4}=\dfrac{34}{1}\qquad|\text{cross multiply}\\\\34(k-4)=3\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\34k-136=3\qquad|+136\\\\34k=139\qquad|:34\\\\k=\dfrac{139}{34}$

Can I get help with finding the Fourier cosine series of F(x) = x - x^2

trapecia [35]

Assuming you want the cosine series expansion over an arbitrary symmetric interval $[-L,L]$ , $L\neq0$ , the cosine series is given by

$f_C(x)=\dfrac{a_0}2+\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}a_n\cos nx$

You have

$a_0=\displaystyle\frac1L\int_{-L}^Lf(x)\,\mathrm dx$
$a_0=\dfrac1L\left(\dfrac{x^2}2-\dfrac{x^3}3\right)\bigg|_{x=-L}^{x=L}$
$a_0=\dfrac1L\left(\left(\dfrac{L^2}2-\dfrac{L^3}3\right)-\left(\dfrac{(-L)^2}2-\dfrac{(-L)^3}3\right)\right)$
$a_0=-\dfrac{2L^2}3$

$a_n=\displaystyle\frac1L\int_{-L}^Lf(x)\cos nx\,\mathrm dx$

Two successive rounds of integration by parts (I leave the details to you) gives an antiderivative of

$\displaystyle\int(x-x^2)\cos nx\,\mathrm dx=\frac{(1-2x)\cos nx}{n^2}-\dfrac{(2+n^2x-n^2x^2)\sin nx}{n^3}$

and so

$a_n=-\dfrac{4L\cos nL}{n^2}+\dfrac{(4-2n^2L^2)\sin nL}{n^3}$

So the cosine series for $f(x)$ periodic over an interval $[-L,L]$ is

$f_C(x)=-\dfrac{L^2}3+\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}\left(-\dfrac{4L\cos nL}{n^2L}+\dfrac{(4-2n^2L^2)\sin nL}{n^3L}\right)\cos nx$
