The illumination from a light source varies inversely as the square of the distance from the light source. If you raise a lamp from 15 inches to 30 inches over your desk, what happens to the illumination?
Whe lise a graphing utility to graph $$ f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-4 x+3}{x-2} \text { and } g(x)=\frac{x^{2}-5 x+6}{x-2} $$ What differences do you observe between the graph of \(f\) and the graph of \(g\) ? How do you account for these differences?
Solve each inequality using a graphing utility. $$ 2 x^{2}+5 x-3 \leq 0 $$
Use point plotting to graph \(f(x)=2^{x}\). Begin by setting up a partial table of coordinates, selecting integers from \(-3\) to 3 inclusive, for \(x\). Because \(y=0\) is a horizontal asymptote, your graph should approach, but never touch, the negative portion of the \(x\) -axis.
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.
