Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around graphing solutions to multi-parameter equations involving a triangle's angles and their relationships through a quadratic equation. The original poster seeks to understand how to visualize these relationships graphically, particularly in the context of the equations a + b = c and b² - 4ac > 0.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the nature of the equations presented and question how to graph them in a meaningful way. There is a discussion about the interpretation of the equations as functions and the implications of the conditions set by the discriminant.

Discussion Status

The conversation reflects a mix of attempts to clarify the original poster's question and suggestions for how to approach graphing the relationships. Some participants express confusion over the lack of detail in the original post, while others attempt to redirect the focus towards a clearer understanding of the variables involved.

Contextual Notes

There are indications of language barriers affecting communication, as well as a mention of the original poster's unfamiliarity with complex coordinate geometry, which may limit their understanding of the discussion.

How can I plot the graph for this:

a+b=c
and
[tex]b^{2}-4ac>0[/tex]

What do you mean by a graph for that? I know how to graph functions of one or two variables. I see two equations, but not functions there. If you mean
c= f(a, b)= a+ b, then the graph is a plane containing the points (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 1), and (0, 1, 1).

The graph of c= b2/4a is a much more complicated surface- it is basically as hyperboloid. The graph of all (a, b, c) such that b2- 4ac> 0 is the graph of all (a, b, c) such that c< b2/4a and consists of the points below the hyperboloid surface.


I doubt that's what you mean but I can't think what else the "graph" of two equations in 3 parameters could mean.
 


Actually the question is something of this sort:
If one of the angles of a triangle is 90 degree. The other angles be x and y.
If tan (x/2) and tan (y/2) be the roots of tghe equation:
ax^{2}+bx+c=0
find a relation between.
definitely a+b=c
and discriminant>0
I wantd to plot the graphy of this out of curiosity :smile: and i ont understand a word you say

The reason you don't understand a single thing Halls said is bc you were too lazy to type up enough information for anybody to help you. If you want help, don't be lazy and use spellcheck.

I am sorry for that. My mother tongue ain't english but i'll try to do it again without the typo:

I wanted to plot the graph of this situation. Help me please~

I know that Halls was taking it to the #3 dimension. And that's what I don't want. I haven't studied complex coordinate geomtry as yet.
 


You want a graph of what again? What variables are used for the x and y axis? Halls didn't answer your question because you didn't state it properly.

No no, actually there are 3 parameters now, which vary and two conditions which they satisfy. I just want to know whether, the solution set of a,b,c can b represented graphically as was in the case such as y=x-3?
