    Root Finding Exercise - Finding Value for Equivalent Areas

    How to find value in root finding exercise? I am designing a fountain for a Vegas hotel which sprays water in the shape of a hyperbola onto a screen. The hyperbolas shape is a function of several different variables. I am looking for conditions which will cause the area cast by the bottom and...
