In kilometers, the approximate distance to the earth's horizon from a point h meters above the surface can be determined by evaluating the expression

We are given the height h of a person from surface of sea level to be 350 m and we are to find the the distance to horizon d. Using the value in above expression we get:
Therefore, the approximate distance to the horizon for the person will be 64.81 km
Yes that’s correct

The final result is: C) x(x - 8)(x + 8).

(a) converges; consider the function <em>f(x)</em> = <em>a</em> ˣ, which converges to 0 as <em>x</em> gets large for |<em>a</em> | < 1. Then the limit is 2.
(b) converges; we have
4ⁿ / (1 + 9ⁿ) = (4ⁿ/9ⁿ) / (1/9ⁿ + 9ⁿ/9ⁿ) = (4/9)ⁿ × 1/(1/9ⁿ + 1)
As <em>n</em> gets large, the exponential terms vanish; both (4/9)ⁿ → 0 and 1/9ⁿ → 0, so the limit is 1.
(c) converges; we know ln(<em>n</em> ) → ∞ and arctan(<em>n</em> ) → <em>π</em>/2 as <em>n</em> → ∞. So the limit is <em>π</em>/2.
