SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of "In distance versus In time," which is a misinterpretation of the standard distance versus time graph. Participants clarify that the term "In" refers to the natural logarithm, indicating a misunderstanding in the homework statement. The confusion arises from the phrasing in the textbook, leading to a need for clearer definitions in mathematical contexts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of distance-time graphs
  • Familiarity with natural logarithms
  • Basic knowledge of mathematical terminology
  • Ability to interpret mathematical expressions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of natural logarithms
  • Study the relationship between distance and time in physics
  • Explore graphing techniques for mathematical functions
  • Learn about common misconceptions in mathematical terminology
USEFUL FOR

Students in mathematics or physics, educators clarifying concepts, and anyone involved in interpreting mathematical expressions and graphs.

Plot "In distance versus In time"

Homework Statement


What is "In distance versus In time"...

And no it is not just Distance v/s time, because that is part(a) to the question.


Homework Equations


None


The Attempt at a Solution


I have no clue what this is supposed to mean... Anyone got any idea?

give us more about what you're doing just in case there's some context here that we're missing, but I think it's just bad wording for time vs. distance.
 


Nah I got it... it looks like "in" on my book, but it is actually natural log.

Thanks though
