Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around using WolframAlpha to solve the equation $h(v-t) = h(v+t)$ for $v$, where $h(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$. The context involves finding the vertex of the quadratic function, with specific interest in how WolframAlpha can handle the parameters $a$, $b$, and $c$ as numbers for any given $t$.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks assistance on how to use WolframAlpha to solve the equation for $v$ and emphasizes the importance of determining the vertex of the quadratic function.
  • The same participant reiterates their request for thoughts on the matter, indicating a desire for clarification or guidance.
  • Another participant humorously questions the nature of WolframAlpha, suggesting a misunderstanding of the tool's purpose.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus or resolution in the discussion, as the main inquiry remains unanswered and a humorous comment introduces a different perspective.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not address specific assumptions about the values of $a$, $b$, or $c$, nor does it clarify how WolframAlpha's capabilities may vary based on these parameters.

Hello,

I want wolfarmalpha solve this $h(v-t) = h(v+t)$ for $v$ where $h(x) = ax^2 +bx +c $. It is the vertex I want the students to figure out the vertex of the quadratic function. If $a,b $ and $c$ are numbers wolfarmalpha can solve that for any $t$.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Okay thanks again (Yes)
 
Wolfarmalpha? Is that a farm where they raise wolves?
