A group of people agree to share equally in the cost of a \(\$ 250,000\) endowment to a college. If they could find two more people to join the group, each person's share of the cost would decrease by \(\$ 6250\). How many people are presently in the group?
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 $$ \beta=\arctan \frac{3 x}{x^{2}+4}, \quad x>0 $$ (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.
Find the exact value of the expression. $$ \cot \left[\arcsin \left(-\frac{12}{13}\right)\right] $$
In Exercises 83-88, use a graphing utility to graph the function. $$ f(x)=-3+\arctan (\pi x) $$
True or False? Determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer. The tangent function is often useful for modeling simple harmonic motion.
