Question 1065833: We can use Newton's Law of Gravity to measure the gravitational attraction between the moon and a pre-cal student in space located a distance x above the moons surface.
F(x)=350/x^2
Here F is measured in Newtons (N) and x is measure in millions of meters.
a) graph the function F for values of x between 0 and 10
b)Use the graph to describe the behavior of the gravitational attraction F as the distance x increases.

b)Use the graph to describe the behavior of the gravitational attraction F as the distance x increases.
Ans: As x increases, F(x) decreases.
