Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. It is possible to have a rational function whose graph has no \(y\)-intercept.
Use inspection to describe each inequality's solution set. Do not solve any of the inequalities. $$(x-2)^{2} \leq 0$$
Basic Car Rental charges \(\$ 20\) a day plus \(\$ 0.10\) per mile, whereas Acme Car Rental charges \(\$ 30\) a day plus \(\$ 0.05\) per mile. How many miles must be driven to make the daily cost of a Basic Rental a better deal than an Acme Rental?
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 groundbased telescope.
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. When all is said and done, it seems to me that direct variation equations are special kinds of linear functions and inverse variation equations are special kinds of rational functions.
