Suppose the probability of a server winning any given point in a tennis match is a constant \(p,\) with \(0 \leq p \leq 1\) Then the probability of the server winning a game when serving from deuce is $$f(p)=\frac{p^{2}}{1-2 p(1-p)}$$ a. Evaluate \(f(0.75)\) and intepret the result. b. Evaluate \(f(0.25)\) and intepret the result.
The fovea centralis (or fovea) is responsible for the sharp central vision that humans use for reading and other detail-oriented eyesight. The relative acuity of a human eye, which measures the sharpness of vision, is modeled by the function $$R(\theta)=\frac{0.568}{0.331|\theta|+0.568}$$ where \(\theta\) (in degrees) is the angular deviation of the line of sight from the center of the fovea (see figure). a. Graph \(R,\) for \(-15 \leq \theta \leq 15\) b. For what value of \(\theta\) is \(R\) maximized? What does this fact indicate about our eyesight? c. For what values of \(\theta\) do we maintain at least \(90 \%\) of our relative acuity? (Source: The Journal of Experimental Biology 203 \(3745-3754,(2000))\)
Let \(S(n)=1+2+\cdots+n,\) where \(n\) is a positive integer. It can be shown that \(S(n)=n(n+1) / 2\) a. Make a table of \(S(n),\) for \(n=1,2, \ldots, 10\) b. How would you describe the domain of this function? c. What is the least value of \(n\) for which \(S(n)>1000 ?\)
Finding the inverse of a cubic polynomial is equivalent to solving a cubic equation. A special case that is simpler than the general case is the cubic \(y=f(x)=x^{3}+a x\). Find the inverse of the following cubics using the substitution (known as Vieta's substitution) \(x=z-a /(3 z) .\) Be sure to determine where the function is one-to-one. $$f(x)=x^{3}+2 x$$
