anyone?

Hello guys, I am new to maple software and I am stuck on solving a simple transcendental equation: sin(x)=x/2 over the range x=-3,...,3. I know how to solve this equation for individual intervals, for example: > fsolve(sin(x) = (1/2)*x, x = -3 .. -1); >...

Homework Statement Hello I wanted clarification on freeman's law and the Tully fisher relationship. Am i correct to say that the tully fisher relationship that states L=kv^4 where L=luminosity of galaxy and v= max rotational speed of galaxy. only applies to edge-on spiral galaxies...

Thanks Mark44 for your explanation, very much appreciated. and thanks DH for keeping up with my mistakes.

DH you genius, i just had to do 10 to 10.0 but why? i spent four hours on this piece of sh**

how can I use cast? eg would it be r=pow(c,n/10); r=cast(r); Do i need to include a library for this? i tried this and it didnt work

I am quite new to programming, i am using linux server connected to our campus. It has glut installed etc. Also math library is included right above main() (beginning of the whole code) Counter is just a single function in the whole code.

i have included math library and gl glut library in program, so when i compile, these are included. All warnings are on

scrap my first post, please read the second one and by the way when counter is called, the c variable is 80.62782 (changes depending on other parts of program).

thanks changed that to %d but its still no use, basically my for function is scanning a grid in integer steps and grid function must take integer values as arguments actually that above statement is not true. The following works perfectly: void counter (double c) { FILE *fp; char...

Hi guys, i am using the C language and have created the following function: void counter (double c) { FILE *fp; char output[]="output.xls"; int n,p=0; int r=0; int i,j; float x=0; fp=fopen(output,"w"); fprintf(fp,"rmax\tnumber of particles within rmax\r\r\n"); for(n=1;n<=10;n++)...

Looking at the squarewave function expression I see my function will be a sum of heaviside step functions? and i can change the period according to what i need. Many thanks

thanks, I've tried but its no use since i need a function that turns on and of and on etc an infinite number of times

Homework Statement I have that a oscillating mass undergoes shm. It is accelerated (forced oscillation) by 1ms^-2, for time pi/2 as it goes through the origin and then accelerated by -1ms^-2 for another time pi/2, then it is at the origin after the second acceleration. I need to determine...

i know why it doesn't print 5 because y never becomes zero (zero remainder when when a number is a factor of another). Read the comments above before posting. I am not taking a stab in the dark, i know my problems as i have stated them and need help. If you want to post unhelpful comments then...
