WeBWorK assignment number Homework14 is due : 11/25/2012 at 11:59pm PST.

The
(* replace with url for the course home page *)
for the course contains the syllabus, grading policy and other information.
This file is /conf/snippets/setHeader.pg you can use it as a model for creating files which introduce each problem set.
The primary purpose of WeBWorK is to let you know that you are getting the correct answer or to alert you if you are making
some kind of mistake. Usually you can attempt a problem as many times as you want before the due date. However, if you are
having trouble figuring out your error, you should consult the book, or ask a fellow student, one of the TAs or your professor for
help. Dont spend a lot of time guessing its not very efficient or effective.
Give 4 or 5 significant digits for (floating point) numerical answers. For most problems when entering numerical answers,
you can if you wish enter elementary expressions such as 2 3 instead of 8, sin(3 pi/2)instead of -1, e (ln(2)) instead of 2,
(2 + tan(3)) (4 sin(5)) 6 7/8 instead of 27620.3413, etc. Heres the list of the functions which WeBWorK understands.
You can use the Feedback button on each problem page to send e-mail to the professors.

The German mathematician Karl Weierstrass (1815-1897)
noticed that the substitution t = tan(x/2) will convert any rational function of sin(x) and cos(x) into an ordinary rational function of t. If t = tan(x/2), < x < , then it can be shown

Astronomers use a technique called stellar stereography to
determine the density of stars in a star cluster from the observed
(two-dimensional) density that can be analyzed from a photograph. Suppose that in a spherical cluster of radius R the density of stars depends only on the distance r from the center of
the cluster. If the perceived star density is given by y (s), where
s is the observed planar distance from the center of the cluster,
and x (r) is the actual density, it can be shown that
