Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding a height function related to the equation y=\frac{-1}{X^2}+4, in the context of a previous equation y=\frac{1}{X^2}-1. Participants are exploring the concept of height functions in relation to volume, with some confusion about terminology and definitions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes a height function h=e^\frac{-V}{\pi}-4 for the second function, but it is unclear if this is correct.
  • Another participant requests clarification on what constitutes a 'height' function, noting a lack of references for the term.
  • There is confusion about the terminology used, with participants questioning the meaning of "height" in the context of functions and graphs.
  • One participant expresses uncertainty about how to find the rate of change of height with respect to volume from the second equation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not seem to agree on the definition of a height function or its application in this context. There are multiple competing views regarding the terminology and the approach to finding the height function for the second equation.

Contextual Notes

There is ambiguity in the definitions and assumptions regarding height functions and their relation to volume, which remains unresolved. The discussion also reflects a misunderstanding of the concept of volume in relation to graphs.

Hi guys.

I was doing a SAC and there were two questions

one was [tex]y=\frac {1}{X^2}-1[/tex] and the other was [tex]y=\frac {-1}{X^2}+4[/tex]

I got the height function to be [tex]h=e^\frac{V}{\pi}-1[/tex] where V is the volume and max height is 3 for the first function [tex]y=\frac {1}{X^2}-1[/tex]

Can someone help me to find the height function of the other function please.


The Volume of both graphs are same.


Thanx in advance.

is this the height function of second function? [tex]h=e^\frac{-V}{\pi}-4[/tex]
 
would you mind defining a 'height' function. I can find no references for it (other than misspelling it as height when it is defined for abelian groups according to planet math)

[tex]y= \frac{1}{X^2}-1[/tex] is not a question- it is a function or equation. What was the question??

I didn't know a graph had a volume! I assume "height" was a misprint for "height" but I'm still not sure what you mean by the "height" of a function.

Sorry about my BAD english but all I intended to say is how can I find the rate of change of height with respect to change in volume from the second equation.


Hope that makes it abit more clear.
