Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of the equation is expressed as y = mx+b

m is the slope

b is the intercept

Given the coordinates (4, -11/3) and (1/2, -29/6)

Slope m = -29/6-(-11/3)÷(1/2-4)

m = (-29/6+11/3)÷(-7/2)

m = -29+22/6÷(-7/2)

m = -7/6÷(-7/2)

m = -7/6×2/-7

m = 2/6

m = 1/3

Get the intercept b

Substitute m= 1/3 and (4, -11/3) into y = MX+b

-11/3 = 1/3(4)+b

-11/3 = 4/3+b

b= -11/3-4/3

b= -15/3

b =-5

Get the required equation

y = 1/3 x -5 (slope-intercept form)

Point slope form of the equation is expressed as y-y0 = m(x-x0)

Substituting m = 1/3 and the point (4,-11/3)

x0 = 4

y0 = -11/3

y - (-11/3) = 1/3(x-4)

y+11/3 = 1/3(x-4) (point-slope form)

For standard format

Recall that y = 1/3x - 5

Multiply through by 3

3y = 1/3x(3)-5(3)

3y = x-15

3y-x = -15(standard form)

How do I solve: 2 sin (2x) - 2 sin x + 2√3 cos x - √3 = 0

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} +k\, \pi$ or $\displaystyle x =- \frac{\pi}{3} +2\,k\, \pi$ , where $k$ is an integer.

There are three such angles between $0$ and $2\pi$ : $\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{3}$ , $\displaystyle \frac{2\, \pi}{3}$ , and $\displaystyle \frac{4\,\pi}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

By the double angle identity of sines:

$\sin(2\, x) = 2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x$ .

Rewrite the original equation with this identity:

$2\, (2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x) - 2\, \sin x + 2\sqrt{3}\, \cos x - \sqrt{3} = 0$ .

Note, that $2\, (2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x)$ and $(-2\, \sin x)$ share the common factor $(2\, \sin x)$ . On the other hand, $2\sqrt{3}\, \cos x$ and $(-\sqrt{3})$ share the common factor $\sqrt[3}$ . Combine these terms pairwise using the two common factors:

$(2\, \sin x) \cdot (2\, \cos x - 1) + \left(\sqrt{3}\right)\, (2\, \cos x - 1) = 0$ .

Note the new common factor $(2\, \cos x - 1)$ . Therefore:

$\left(2\, \sin x + \sqrt{3}\right) \cdot (2\, \cos x - 1) = 0$ .

This equation holds as long as either $\left(2\, \sin x + \sqrt{3}\right)$ or $(2\, \cos x - 1)$ is zero. Let $k$ be an integer. Accordingly:

$\displaystyle \sin x = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ , which corresponds to $\displaystyle x = -\frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = -\frac{2\, \pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ .
$\displaystyle \cos x = \frac{1}{2}$ , which corresponds to $\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = -\frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ .

Any $x$ that fits into at least one of these patterns will satisfy the equation. These pattern can be further combined:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + k \, \pi$ (from $\displaystyle x = -\frac{2\,\pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ , combined,) as well as
$\displaystyle x =- \frac{\pi}{3} +2\,k\, \pi$ .
