Your neighborhood movie theater has a 25 -foot-high screen located 8 feet above your eye level. If you sit too close to the screen, your viewing angle is too small, resulting in a distorted picture. By contrast, if you sit too far back, the image is quite small, diminishing the movie's visual impact. If you sit \(x\) feet back from the screen, your viewing angle, \(\theta,\) is given by $$\theta=\tan ^{-1} \frac{33}{x}-\tan ^{-1} \frac{8}{x}$$ (GRAPH CANNOT COPY) Find the viewing angle, in radians, at distances of 5 feet, 10 feet, 15 feet, 20 feet, and 25 feet.
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. When graphing one complete cycle of \(y=A \cos (B x-C)\) I find it easiest to begin my graph on the \(x\) -axis.
Graph each pair of functions in the same viewing rectangle. Use your knowledge of the domain and range for the inverse trigonometric function to select an appropriate viewing rectangle. How is the graph of the second equation in cach exercise related to the graph of the first equation? $$ y=\sin ^{-1} x \text { and } y=\sin ^{-1}(x+2)+1 $$
The angular speed of a point on Earth is \(\frac{\pi}{12}\) radian per hour. The Equator lies on a circle of radius approximately 4000 miles. Find the linear velocity, in miles per hour, of \(\overline{\mathbf{a}}\) point on the Equator.
Let \(f(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}{x^{2}+2 x-1} & {\text { if } x \geq 2} \\\ {3 x+1} & {\text { if } x<2}\end{array}\right.\) Find \(f(5)-f(-5)\)
