In this case we are dealing with the pythagorean theorm involving right angled triangles. This theorm states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 which means the square of the hypotenuse (side c, opposite the right angle) is equal to the square of the remaining two sides.

In this case we will say that a = 3963 miles which is the radius of the earth. c is equal to the radius of the earth plus the additional altitude of the space station which is 250 miles; therefore, c = 4213 miles. We must now solve for the value b which is equal to how far an astronaut can see to the horizon.

(3963)^2 + b^2 = (4213)^2
b^2 = 2,044,000
b = 1430 miles.

The astronaut can see 1430 miles to the horizon.

ving as a relation, state the domain and range, then determine if it is a6.2X-2 0.-2Relation:DomainRangeFunction3 i

Travka [436]

The relation is the set of ordered pairs of point drawn in the graph

The points are:

(-2, 3), (0, 1), (2, -1), (3, -2)

So the relation is:

R = {(-2, 3), (0, 1), (2, -1), (3, -2)}

The domain is the values of x in the ordered pairs

x = -2, 0, 2, 3

The domain = {-2, 0, 2, 3}

The range is the values of y in the ordered pairs

y = 3, 1, -1, -2

Arrange them in the set

The range = {-2, -1, 1, 3}
