What is the average value of the function on the interval ?
Find the values of b such that the function has the given maximum value.
Maximum value: 62
f(x) = −x2 + bx − 19
b = (smaller value)
b = (larger value)

How to solve
I am trying to find the vibration modes of a string that has a uniform mass density, plus some point mass somewhere attached to it, modelled by an additional Dirac delta function in the mass density. The wave equation is of the form
where u is the deformation, and the mass density. After separation of variables we find
where X is the spatial part of the solution. Is there any analytical solution for X?
