rob Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Sketch the curve x = 3t^2, y = 2 + 5t for 0 <= t <= 2 Quote
sobo Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I can't sketch it online (not that much of a ), but it is an asymptotic curve, increasing faster in the x-direction than in the y-direction by the square of t, with concavity down. No negative y values... Quote
rob Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 me! Lest y'all think this pic was not taken moments ago, please note the envelope on my keyboard. Look familiar?? You may now ask the question... "Hey, Sobo! What time is it??" Fat tire????? I just lost a little bit a respect for you Quote
rob Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Seriously, though. Why not drink something alcoholic? Quote
sobo Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 It was all that was in the fridge here at work. I have a date later, and that involves wine, for which I will go to the store then. Now, I really must get this document out today, so au revoir! Quote
sobo Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I have a date later, Left, or right? It's with you, Dru. Don't you remember? So lube up and bend over. I'll be there in an hour... Quote

sobo Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Let's define that 3t^2 value... Are we talking (3*t)^2 or 3(t^2)? It makes a difference, and algebraic hierarchy would say that it is 3(t^2). So I agree the result is the only the top half of your curve. Since t is never negative (according to rob's given values for t), you cannot have negative values of y. Quote

Pilchuck71 Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Some one kill me please.......the math hurts my head... Or MOVE IT TO SPRAY. Quote
Pilchuck71 Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Sorry SOBO, you are right.. I think it was seeing someone getting to drink a beer while at work that pushed me over the edge.... Carry on math nerds. Quote
sobo Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 WTF??? You don't get to drink at the office? Who makes you do that? There's a shitload of drinking going on at my place. Do a search on "Hey Sobo! What time is it??" Here's a sample... Hey 5K!! Hey Sobo! What time is it? Friday at 4:00 Sobo's starting early today Before you ask me... WOW, I never realized this much time was spent Oh well, I'm off to mow the lawn. Today's the only day in the last 4 where it hasn't been freak'n pouring cats and dogs. Tomorrow it's supposed to start all over again, and my lawn is sooooooooo overdue... Quote
ivan Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Seriously, though. Why not drink something alcoholic? dunno what they put in them there fat tires but it sure do give me the wind something fierce! Quote
Plaidman Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 Four PAGES!!!! What THE HELL!!!! You all have way too much time on your hands. Go climb something. Thanks for all the brain power though! LOL!! Quote
