SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the inappropriate posting of homework-style questions in a technical math forum. The user sought assistance for solving specific equations defined piecewise for the intervals 5≤t<7 and 7≤t≤8. The forum guidelines explicitly state that such questions should be directed to the Homework & Coursework Questions area, as the main forums are intended for broader discussions rather than direct academic assistance. The user was informed of a prior warning regarding similar posts, emphasizing the importance of adhering to forum rules.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of piecewise functions and their applications
  • Familiarity with mathematical notation and terminology
  • Knowledge of forum etiquette and posting guidelines
  • Basic skills in algebra and equation solving
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the Physics Forums Homework & Coursework Questions guidelines
  • Study piecewise function examples and their graphical representations
  • Learn about the importance of showing work in mathematical problem-solving
  • Explore advanced mathematical discussion topics suitable for technical forums
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and forum users seeking clarity on appropriate question types for technical discussions, as well as those interested in understanding piecewise functions and mathematical problem-solving etiquette.

I don't understand and would like to have a clue or hint on how to solve below equations:

F(t)=

\frac{1}{6}(7-t)^{2}(1,2)+\frac{1}{3}(-t^{2}+12t-34)(3,5)+\frac{1}{6}(t-5)^{2}(6,2)__________if__________5≤t&lt;7

and

\frac{1}{3}(8-t)^{2}(3,5)+\frac{1}{3}(-2t^{2}+30t-110)(6,2)+\frac{1}{3}(t-7)^{2}(9,4)<br />__________if__________7≤t≤8

NOTE: I already post above question previously but not being displayed. I think it has been deleted due to some reason that I don't know.

Also, what is meant by "This forum is not for homework or any textbook-style questions."?

So, what is the purpose of this forums?

What kind of questions could be posted in this forum if not a homework or textbook-style question?


Thank you

The homework forums are here:

https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=152

The PF Global Guidelines give some information about what should be posted in the homework forums versus the main forums such as this one:

Any and all high school and undergraduate homework assignments or textbook style exercises for which you are seeking assistance are to be posted in the appropriate forum in our Homework & Coursework Questions area--not in blogs, visitor messages, PMs, or the main technical forums. This should be done whether the problem is part of one's assigned coursework or just independent study. The reason for this is that the scientific and mathematical sections of Physics Forums are to be reserved for discussions and not academic assistance. Since graduate level assignments are meant to be more thought provoking (and hence more worthy of discussion), graduate level questions will be allowed in the relevant part of the main section of PF, provided that the graduate student attempts the problem and shows his work.
 
mymachine,
You already received a warning for posting the first thread, so I have locked this thread. As jbunniii, homework-type questions should not be posted in the technical math sections. Instead, they should be posted in the Homework & Coursework section.

If you post your question there, you will be presented with a template that asks for the problem statement, relevant equations, and your efforts.
