What Is the General Equation of a Parabola with Directrix x=p and Focus (h, k)?
For a parabola whose Directrix is given by the equation x=p and whose Focus is (h,k). Is this by any chance the correct general form of the parabola? x=1/2(h-p) [y^2 - 2yk + h^2+k^2-p^2]- you_of_eh

Pythagorean triplet and vectors
OK never mind, false alarm. For some reason I was thinking strictly in the form of triangles for my vector subtraction. I believe situation b) is possible if you have any two vectors of opposite direction.- you_of_eh

Pythagorean triplet and vectors
Suppose that vectors A, B and C are related by A-B=C. a) Is it possible that A-B=C? If so, draw the sort of situation when this is so. (A is the magnitude of A, B of B and C of C.) b) Is it possible that C=A+B? If so, then draw the sort of situation when this is so. ------- a) I used the...- you_of_eh

Model Rocket Flight: Graphing Acceleration, Velocity, and Height
A model rocket is launched with an upward acceleration, after t seconds it runs out of fuel at x height. Sketch the a vs. t, v vs. t, and position vs. t graphs for the rocket from the time of launch until the moment it reaches max height. -I know that after the rocket runs out of fuel it will...- you_of_eh

Determine when the velocity of the particle is zero
A particle has an initial position X=0m and an initial velocity v=-6.0m/s. Its acceleration is given by the function [1.0 m/s^2 + (0.25 m/s^3)t] where t is in seconds. Plot the acceleration vs. time. From your plot, determine when the velocity of the particle is zero. -ok so if when I plot...- you_of_eh

Solve for Position: Physics Question with Initial Position and Velocity
A particle has an initial position X=0m and an initial velocity v=-6.0m/s. Its acceleration is given by the function [1.0 m/s^2 + (0.25 m/s^3)t] where t is in seconds. Use calculus to find the position of the particle at the instant when its velocity is zero. -this is a bonus question on...- you_of_eh

Graphing Question: x<1, 1≤x≤2, x>2
The function is.. f(x) = 2x-2 if x<1 x^2 if 1 <= x <= 2 7-x if x>2 I made a table of values and graphed the points. The problem is my prof said something about not all of the points being connected by straight lines, some being connected by curves. I was wondering why...- you_of_eh
