A photographer is taking a picture of a three-foot-tall painting hung in an art gallery. The camera lens is 1 foot below the lower edge of the painting (see figure). The angle \(\beta\) subtended by the camera lens \(x\) feet from the painting is given by \(\beta=\arctan \frac{3 x}{x^{2}+4}, \quad x>0\). (a) Use a graphing utility to graph \(\beta\) as a function of \(x .\) (b) Move the cursor along the graph to approximate the distance from the picture when \(\beta\) is maximum. (c) Identify the asymptote of the graph and discuss its meaning in the context of the problem.
Use a calculator to evaluate the expression. Round your result to two decimal places. \(\arctan (-3)\)
Find the exact value of the expression. (Hint: Sketch a right triangle.) \(\tan \left[\arcsin \left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)\right]\)
Fill in the blank. If not possible, state the reason. As \(x \rightarrow \infty,\) the value of arctan \(x \rightarrow\) ___.
Sketch a graph of the function and compare the graph of \(g\) with the graph of \(f(x)=\arcsin x .\) \(g(x)=\arcsin (x-1)\)
