What we have been given here are two points.

f(3) = -4 is the same as (3, -4)

f(2) = 6 is the same as (2, 6)

We can then use these two points to find the equation of a line.

Step 1: Find the slope

Slope Formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Slope = (6 - - 4) / (2 - 3) = (10) / (-1) = -10

Step 2: Find the y-intercept

To find the y-intercept, we'll take our slope and one of our points and plug them into slope-intercept form, then solve for b.

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Point = (2, 6)

6 = 2(-10) + b

6 = -20 + b

b = 26

Step 3: Create the equation of the line

Now that we have the slope and y-intercept, all that's left to do is plug both of those values into slope-intercept form.

y = -10x + 26

Answer: y = -10x + 26

Hope this helps!

The problem can be solved step by step, if we know certain basic rules of summation. Following rules assume summation limits are identical.
$\sum{a+b}=\sum{a}+\sum{b}$
$\sum{kx}=k\sum{x}$
$\sum_{r=1}^n{1}=n$
$\sum_{r=1}^n{r}=n(n+1)/2$

Armed with the above rules, we can split up the summation into simple terms:
$\sum_{r=1}^n{40r-21n+8}=n$
$=40\sum_{r=1}^n{r}-21n\sum_{r=1}^n{1}+8\sum_{r=1}^n{1}$
$=40\frac{n(n+1)}{2}-21n^2+8n$
$=20n(n+1)-21n^2+8n$
$=28n-n^2$

=> (a) f(x)=28n-n^2
=> f'(x)=28-2n
=> at f'(x)=0 => x=14
Since f''(x)=-2 <0 therefore f(14) is a maximum
(b) f(x) is a maximum when n=14

(c) the maximum value of f(x) is f(14)=196
