The fovea centralis (or fovea) is responsible for the sharp central vision that humans use for reading

Question:

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

0.568 0.331|0| + 0.568' R(0)


where u (in degrees) is the angular deviation of the line of sight from the center of the fovea (see figure).

a. Graph R, for -15 ≤ u ≤ 15.

b. For what value of u is R maximized? What does this fact indicate about our eyesight?

c. For what values of u do we maintain at least 90% of our maximum relative acuity?

Fovea
