Answer (assuming it can be in slope-intercept format):

$y = -\frac{3}{5} x+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

When knowing the y-intercept of a line and its slope, we can write an equation representing it in slope-intercept form, or $y = mx + b$ .

1) First, find the slope of the equation. Use the slope formula, $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , to find the slope. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and simplify:

$m = \frac{(4)-(7)}{(5)-(0)} \\m = \frac{4-7}{5-0} \\m = \frac{-3}{5}$

Thus, the slope is $-\frac{3}{5}$ .

2) Usually, we would have to use one of the given points and the slope to put the equation in point-slope form. However, notice that the point (0,7) has an x-value of 0. All points on the y-axis have an x-value of 0, thus (0,7) must be the y-intercept of the line. Now that we know the slope of the line and its y-intercept, we can already write the equation in slope-intercept format, represented by the equation $y = mx + b$ . Substitute $m$ and $b$ for real values.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute $-\frac{3}{5}$ in its place in the equation. Since $b$ represents the y-intercept, substitute 7 in its place. This gives the following equation and answer:

$y = -\frac{3}{5} x+7$

Answer: (-5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To the left 5 units turns our 0 into negative 5 (-5) and going down on the y axis by 1 is 1 instead of 2 so the new point is (-5,1)

Use this list of Basic Taylor Series and the identity sin2θ= 1 2 (1−cos(2θ)) to find the Taylor Series for f(x) = sin2(3x) based

Answer:

The Taylor series for $sin^2(3 x) = - \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$ , the first three non-zero terms are $9x^{2} -27x^{4}+\frac{162}{5}x^{6}$ and the interval of convergence is $( -\infty, \infty )$

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the steps to find the Taylor series for the function $sin^2(3 x)$

Use the trigonometric identity:

$sin^{2}(x)=\frac{1}{2}*(1-cos(2x))\\ sin^{2}(3x)=\frac{1}{2}*(1-cos(2(3x)))\\ sin^{2}(3x)=\frac{1}{2}*(1-cos(6x))$

2. The Taylor series of $cos(x)$

$cos(y) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-1^{n}y^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

Substituting y=6x we have:

$cos(6x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-1^{n}6^{2n}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

3. Find the Taylor series for $sin^2(3x)$

$sin^{2}(3x)=\frac{1}{2}*(1-cos(6x))$ (1)

$cos(6x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-1^{n}6^{2n}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$ (2)

Substituting (2) in (1) we have:

$\frac{1}{2} (1-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-1^{n}6^{2n}x^{2n}}{(2n)!})\\ \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-1^{n}6^{2n}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

Bring the factor $\frac{1}{2}$ inside the sum

$\frac{6^{2n}}{2}=9^{n}2^{2n-1} \\ (-1^{n})(9^{n})=(-9^{n} )$

$\frac{1}{2}-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

Extract the term for n=0 from the sum:

$\frac{1}{2}-\sum_{n=0}^{0}\frac{-9^{0}2^{2*0-1}x^{2*0}}{(2*0)!}-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}\\ \frac{1}{2} -\frac{1}{2} -\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}\\ 0-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}\\ sin^{2}(3x)=-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

To find the first three non-zero terms you need to replace n=3 into the sum

$sin^{2}(3x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}\\ \sum_{n=1}^{3}\frac{-9^{3}2^{2*3-1}x^{2*3}}{(2*3)!} = 9x^{2} -27x^{4}+\frac{162}{5}x^{6}$

To find the interval on which the series converges you need to use the Ratio Test that says

For the power series centered at x=a

$P(x)=C_{0}+C_{1}(x-a)+C_{2}(x-a)^{2}+...+ C_{n}(x-a)^{n}+...,$

suppose that $\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{C_{n}}{C_{n+1}}| = R.$ . Then

If $R=\infty,$ the the series converges for all x
If $0$ then the series converges for all $|x-a|$
If R=0, the the series converges only for x=a

So we need to evaluate this limit:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{\frac{-9^{n}2^{2n-1}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}}{\frac{-9^{n+1}2^{2*(n+1)-1}x^{2*(n+1)}}{(2*(2n+1))!}} |$

Simplifying we have:

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |-\frac{(n+1)(2n+1)}{18x^{2} } |$

Next we need to evaluate the limit

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |-\frac{(n+1)(2n+1)}{18x^{2} } |\\ \frac{1}{18x^{2} } \lim_{n \to \infty} |-(n+1)(2n+1)}|}$

-(n+1)(2n+1) is negative when n -> ∞. Therefore $|-(n+1)(2n+1)}|=2n^{2}+3n+1$

You can use this infinity property $\lim_{x \to \infty} (ax^{n}+...+bx+c) = \infty$ when a>0 and n is even. So

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |-\frac{(n+1)(2n+1)}{18x^{2} } | \\ \frac{1}{18x^{2}} \lim_{n \to \infty} 2n^{2}+3n+1=\infty$

Because this limit is ∞ the radius of converge is ∞ and the interval of converge is $( -\infty, \infty )$ .
