T $\alpha \frac{1}{R^3}$
T = $\frac{k}{R^3}$
k = TR3
= $\frac{2}{81}$ x 33
= $\frac{2}{81}$ x 27
dividing 81 by 27
k = $\frac{2}{2}$
therefore, T = $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{1}{R^3}$
When R = 2
T = $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{1}{2^3}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{1}{8}$
= $\frac{1}{12}$

let each interior angle = x
x = $\frac{(n-2)180}{n}$
x = $\frac{1800}{12}$

2y = 5x + 4 (4, 2)
y = $\frac{5x}{2}$ + 4 comparing with
y = mx + e
m = $\frac{5}{2}$
Since they are perpendicular
m1m2 = -1
m2 = $\frac{-1}{m_1}$ = -1
$\frac{5}{2}$ = -1 x $\frac{2}{5}$
The equator of the line is thus
y = mn + c (4, 2)
2 = -$\frac{2}{5}$(4) + c
$\frac{2}{1}$ + $\frac{8}{5}$ = c
c = $\frac{18}{5}$
$\frac{10+5}{5}$ = c
y = -$\frac{2}{5}$x + $\frac{18}{5}$
5y = -2x + 18
or 5y + 2x - 18 = 0

y = x3 + x2 - x + 1
$\frac{dy}{dx}$ = $\frac{d\left(x^3\right)}{dx}$ + $\frac{d\left(x^2\right)}{dx}$ - $\frac{d\left(x\right)}{dx}$ + $\frac{d\left(1\right)}{dx}$
$\frac{dy}{dx}$ = 3x2 + 2x - 1 = 0
$\frac{dy}{dx}$ = 3x2 + 2x - 1
At the maximum point $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = 0
3x2 + 2x - 1 = 0
(3x2 + 3x) - (x - 1) = 0
3x(x + 1) -1(x + 1) = 0
(3x - 1)(x + 1) = 0
therefore x = $\frac{1}{3}$ or -1
For the maximum point
$\frac{d^{2}y}{d{x}^2}$ < 0

$\frac{d^{2}y}{d{x}^2}$ 6x + 2
when x = $\frac{1}{3}$
$\frac{d{x}^2}{d{x}^2}$ = 6($\frac{1}{3}$) + 2
= 2 + 2 = 4
$\frac{d^{2}y}{d{x}^2}$ > o which is the minimum point
when x = -1
$\frac{d^{2}y}{d{x}^2}$ = 6(-1) + 2
= -6 + 2 = -4
-4 < 0

therefore, $\frac{d^{2}y}{d{x}^2}$ < 0

the maximum point is -1
