To determine
To prove that: At a distance 2ft. to the right of the origin, the height of the graph of f is 48 ft. but the height of the graph of g is about 256 miles.
Answer
Proved
Explanation
Proof:
fx=x2,gx=2x.
It is given that unit of measure is 1 inch, therefore 2 ft.=24 inches and 48 ft.=48*24/2=576 inches.
Now, if x= 2 ft.=24 inches, then fx=242 inches =576 inches =48 ft.
And for x=24 inches, the value of gx=224 inches =16777216 inches =265 miles approximately (because 1 mile =5280 feet= 5280*12=63360 inches and therefore 16777216 inches= 16777216/63360=264.7919 miles).
Conclusion: Proved
