How to Plot Number Lines with Software

AI Thread Summary
To plot number lines effectively, software options like Wolfram Alpha and Microsoft Word with MathType are recommended for visualizing relative distances between points. Users can create a number line starting from an origin of 0, displaying values such as 5 and 146. These tools allow for clear illustration of data patterns. The discussion highlights the need for user-friendly programs to facilitate such graphing tasks. Overall, Wolfram Alpha and MS Word are noted as suitable solutions for this purpose.

... to visualize relative distances between two points of interest. Do any of the microsoft office applications do this? For example, I would like it to start with an origin of 0 on the left, show the number 5, then show the number 146. I just need a good program for plotting these types of graphs to illustrate data patterns.

Thank you for any assistance.

Wolfram alpha does this perfectly, nevermind!
 
Also MS Word with MathType too:

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
