AI Thread Summary
In the equation l/x, the variable l represents an unknown constant that can take on any value, depending on the context of the calculation. The user is attempting to divide l by x-axis values ranging from 1 to 8 but lacks clarity on what l specifically denotes. Previous graphs included various transformations of x, such as squaring and cubing, but the current task requires determining the value of l/x. Without additional information about the context or the specific value of l, it remains indeterminate. Understanding the purpose of l in this scenario is crucial for accurate calculations.

1. to determine values i have:

1. x^2
2. Square root of (x)
3. l/x

what does l stand for in number 3

That completely depends on the context of what you are using them to calculate. What exactly are you trying to do?
 
I am trying to divide l by my x-axis values (1 through 8) but I don't know what l means... In my other graphs I squared x, cubed x, square rooted x, and square cubed x... in this one I am suppose to suppose to Determine the value of (l/x).
 
Have you been told what number l represents? l is just some number, it could be ANY number, but more information is needed to determine which number it is.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
