Intersection points of the graph its solutions?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the intersection points of the polar equations f(theta) = 2sin(theta) - 1 and g(theta) = 3cos(theta) + 2. To determine these intersection points, one must solve the equations simultaneously. The concept of having the same points as zeros refers to identifying the angles where both functions equal the same value. Graphing the functions can help visualize where they intersect, but the key is to solve for theta algebraically. Ultimately, the goal is to find the specific angles that represent the intersection points of the two graphs.

The graphs of f(theta) = 2sin(theta) - 1 , and g(theta) = 3cos(theta)+2 are given.
What equation would have the intersection points of the graph its solutions?


ummm... what does this mean? and how do i solve it?

Find the intersection points of f(t) and g(t) and find a function that has those points as solutions (zeros).
 
i still don't understand i can find the points where f(t) and g(t) intersect by graphing (how do i do this by graphing?) but what do you mean by having same points as zeros?
 
Both of these are the equations of graphs in their polar form.These graph would intersect at some particular point whose position vector will make some THETA angle with the x-axis.To find this particular THETA , solve the above two equations simultaneusly by equation f(Q) and g(Q) and then finding the angle(s).

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
