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 \(3745-3754,(2000))\)
Make a sketch of the given pairs of functions. Be sure to draw the graphs accurately relative to each other. $$y=x^{4} \text { and } y=x^{6}$$
Identify the amplitude and period of the following functions. $$q(x)=3.6 \cos (\pi x / 24)$$
The height of a baseball hit straight up from the ground with an initial velocity of \(64 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\) is given by \(h=f(t)=\) \(64 t-16 t^{2},\) where \(t\) is measured in seconds after the hit. a. Is this function one-to-one on the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 4 ?\) b. Find the inverse function that gives the time \(t\) at which the ball is at height \(h\) as the ball travels upward. Express your answer in the form \(t=f^{-1}(h)\). c. Find the inverse function that gives the time \(t\) at which the ball is at height \(h\) as the ball travels downward. Express your answer in the form \(t=f^{-1}(h)\). d. At what time is the ball at a height of \(30 \mathrm{ft}\) on the way up? e. At what time is the ball at a height of \(10 \mathrm{ft}\) on the way down?
Given the following information about one trigonometric function, evaluate the other five functions. $$\csc \theta=\frac{13}{12} \text { and } 0<\theta<\pi / 2$$
