Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around plotting root mean square calculations using radians, specifically focusing on various mathematical functions and their graphical representations. Participants share their formulas and graphs, exploring the visual aspects of these calculations in the context of physics and mathematics.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification
Main Points Raised
- One participant shares formulas for root mean square calculations: Y1 = (sin(X)^2)^(1/2), Y2 = (tan(X)^2)^(1/2), Y3 = (tan(X)^3)^(1/3), suggesting a range for X and Y axes.
- Another participant proposes different formulas: Y1=(4 sin (1/2 x^2))^(1/2), Y2=(8tan (1/8 x^2))^(1/2), Y3=.3-(4sin (1/2 x^2))^(1/2), indicating that these still require refinement.
- Participants share links to external resources that contain interesting curves related to the topic, with one noting a specific curve referred to as an asteroid, which was described as looking like a diamond by someone else.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
There is no clear consensus on the best formulas or graphical representations, as participants present different approaches and express varying levels of satisfaction with their results.
Contextual Notes
Some formulas may depend on specific interpretations of root mean square calculations, and the graphical outputs may vary based on the chosen parameters and functions.
