Solve each inequality using a graphing utility. $$x^{3}+x^{2}-4 x-4>0$$
Use a graphing utility to graph \(y=\frac{1}{x}, y=\frac{1}{x^{3}},\) and \(\frac{1}{x^{5}}\) in the same viewing rectangle. For odd values of \(n,\) how does changing \(n\) affect the graph of \(y=\frac{1}{x^{n}} ?\)
Write the equation of a rational function \(f(x)=\frac{p(x)}{q(x)}\) having the indicated properties, in which the degrees of p and q are as small as possible. More than one correct function may be possible. Graph your function using a graphing utility to verify that it has the required properties. \(f\) has a vertical asymptote given by \(x=1,\) a slant asymptote whose equation is \(y=x, y\) -intercept at \(2,\) and \(x\)-intercepts at -1 and 2.
a. Find the slant asymptote of the graph of each rational function and \(\mathbf{b} .\) Follow the seven-step strategy and use the slant asymptote to graph each rational function. $$f(x)=\frac{x^{2}+1}{x}$$
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?
