Hi, I am graphing a hyperbola and have completed everything, except I am not to sure how to draw the final curve in. I have the center, foci, vertices, and axis'. I cannot seem to find any information on actually plotting the curve in. Am I supposed to freehand it in from the vertice and follow...

Question asked to find the units of k after you find the porpotionality statement i ended up getting t\propto\frac{\sqrt{h}}{d^2} so i turned that into an equation and end up with t=k\frac{\sqrt{h}}{d^2} solved for and found it on average to be 30 now the question is asking what the...

Can anybody explain the process to use when graphing algorithmic functions? Sorry if this is a stupid question to ask, but I have a textbook that doesn't explain the process completely. I'm trying to nail these concepts down, but I guess I'm pretty much hopeless when it comes to math. I...

Homework Statement While Cruising along a dark stretch of highway with the cruise control set at 25 m/s, you see, at the fringes of your headlights, that a bridge has been washed out. You apply the brakes and come to a stop in 4.0s. Assume the clock starts the instant you hit the brakes...

I want to graph curves in C++. I can program them in, find the x,y,z coordinates, but I don't know how to graph them. I am using Dev C++. How would I go about graphing them? Is there some predefined graphics library that I can use or is it more complicated than that?

I'm writing a program in VB but since math isn't my strongest suit I'm having a little trouble figuring out the equation for this: I have a grid 100 x 100. The user will input the direction in deg and the distance to travel. I need to get the destination grid x and Y. 0 Deg is facing up...

I'm about to buy a graphing calculator, and I don't know whether to get the Texas Instruments TI-84 (Silver Edition), or the Casio CFX9850GC+ (which has the added frivolity of a colour screen). I can't get the TI-89, because it has algebra software built in, and so I'm not allowed to use it...

x+|x|=y+|y| so for x which in a sense will be the same for y x if x > 0 -x if x < 0 now does that only apply to my absolute x? or does it apply to both x and |x|?

I'm really unsure how to go about graphing a complex function. Like, f(z) = z^2, where z = x+iy. This ISN'T a homework problem, but I'm studying for an exam and that's an example in a book I'm reading and it says "the image of this function" and goes on explaining some things relevant to...

Hello everyone, I use a TI-83 Plus and I'd like to know if there is a quick way to convert an angle from radian to degree and vice versa. I am not referring to multiplying by (pi/180) or (180/pi). Thanks!

Homework Statement Why did we choose to linearize our data by plotting velocity versus time rather than by distance versus time-squared. Use d-v-a-t (distance=velocity*time+0.5*acceleartion*time-squared) equations to present a convincing answer. Homework Equations 1. d=vt+1/2at^2 2...

Homework Statement My goal is to create a graph in excel that moves as I hold the F9 key(and progressing the time). The concept is of a 'rubber ball' bouncing after it is dropped from an initial height. The variables that must be left in separate cells (to easily change) are kinetic energy...

Hi Im trying to find the elastic potential energy stored in a mousetrap spring. I plan on doing this by graphing the spring's constant then integrating the function. I just wanted to know what i should be measuring with the x-axis. In normal springs the force is on the y-axis and the...

I really don't like Excel for graphing for several reasons. The main issue is that it only has uniform uncertainties for all data points and you cannot put different uncertainties for different data points. I also just don't feel the graph looks good quality at all. People I have asked...

Homework Statement I would like to graph the position, velocity, and acceleration curves (over time) of an object that is launched straight up from the surface of the Earth, but I need to take into account the fact that the Earth's gravitational pull weakens as the object gets higher. The...

How would you graph y=f(x)-4? I am not sure how the original graph looks like y=f(x) either. Also, if i were to graph this using a graphing calculator, how would that be done?

I was trying to build a program that let's you find the integral and shows you the curve after giving you the solution. And I don't know how to write the code for the calculator to ask you for the y value. I know how to use drawf but you can't set your zoom to zoomfit because your calculator...

Hi all, found this forum while looking for a solution to this problem: When I graph a y1=sin(x) I get the sin wave you would expect. but... When I graph y2=5+4*sin(pi/12)(x+10) I get a line instead of a wave? What gives? I'm in radian, I reset my factory defaults... Am I entering...

I have a TI-83 graphing calculator and am thinking about upgrading to the 89 because extra useful features. Is it worth it?

hey all if I have the function for a derivative (which it is impossible to find an integral for, by the way), how do I graph the original? This graph is shaped kind of like an M, meaning it has some sharp points...on the original graph, would these be asymptotes or also sharp points?? thanx...

Help me decide. I want something that can help w/ calculus,trig,physics,statistics(not an absolutely necessary feature) and chem(not sure what features would be added to help this, but if you know then do tell) and allowed on SAT/ACT. any ideas

Hi, I was looking for some Windows software that did the job a graphing calculator does, but on the computer screen. I've been using the calculator that comes with Microsoft Student, but it lacks some features that would be quite useful (specially when it comes to complex functions). Which...

Hi, I've a basic knowledge of c++, but I've never learned graphing. What little I know, I've picked up myself. I am trying to graph the motion of a projectile launched with a given speed and at a given angle, but the graph doesn't complete. Also, its very spaced out. I know its a parabola so I...
