What is a polynomial inequality?
Use the four-step procedure for solving variation problems given on page 424 to solve. The distance that a spring will stretch varies directly as the force applied to the spring. A force of 12 pounds is needed to stretch a spring 9 inches. What force is required to stretch the spring 15 inches?
If you are given the equation of a rational function, explain how to find the horizontal asymptote, if any, of the function's graph.
Galileo's telescope brought about revolutionary changes in astronomy. A comparable leap in our ability to observe the universe took place as a result of the Hubble Space Telescope. The space telescope was able to see stars and galaxies whose brightness is \(\frac{1}{50}\) of the faintest objects observable using ground-based telescopes. Use the fact that the brightness of a point source, such as a star, varies inversely as the square of its distance from an observer to show that the space telescope was able to see about seven times farther than a ground-based telescope.
Use a graphing utility to graph \(y=\frac{1}{x}, y=\frac{1}{x^{3}},\) and \(\frac{1}{x^{5}}\) in the same vicwing rectangle. For odd values of \(n\), how does changing \(n\) affect the graph of \(y=\frac{1}{x^{m}} ?\)
