Answer:

The distance between the Earth and the Moon is equal to the distance between the Sun and the Moon multiplied by the sine of angle x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

EM -----> the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

y -----> the distance between the Sun and the Moon.

we know that

In the right triangle of the figure

The sine of angle x is equal to divide the opposite side to angle x (distance between the Earth and the Moon.) by the hypotenuse ( distance between the Sun and the Moon)

so

sin(x)=EM/y

Solve for EM

EM=(y)sin(x)

therefore

The distance between the Earth and the Moon is equal to the distance between the Sun and the Moon multiplied by the sine of angle x

As x increases without bound, f(x):
yarga [219]

Answer: Choice D) approaches y = -4

"x increases without bound" is another way of saying "x heads off to positive infinity". Visually, you follow the graph curve going to the right. As the graph shows, the curve steadily gets closer to the horizontal line y = -4, but it never actually gets there. This line is the horizontal asymptote.

Let f(x) =x^2-1 and g(x) = x+3. Find f(g(x))
givi [52]

To find f(g(x)), we'll treat g(x) as if it were the x in f(x).

g(x) = x + 3

f(g(x) = (x+3)^2 - 1
