... I just wanted the increments on the x axis to read in degrees.Although GC doesn't have a one-step way of converting a graph to degree-marks and still be...
Here's a file that can be used as a template for any time you want the x-axis to be labeled in degrees. I had to use custom axes and labels, since GC's scales...
Below, I've spaced the dashes better, in synch with the trig function period. Trying to get some insight into why the minima and maxima of the slanted sine...
OK, Let us try it with simple numbers and then get working on it. 64 = 1296 So, if 6 is the unknown factor (x) then, using logs… Then X4 = 1296, is Log...
... Can you tell me what version of GC you're using? You can find out by selecting "About Graphing Calculator" from the "Graphing Calculator" menu:  You...
Merlin, The logarithm is just a name for the answer to the question (in this case) "What exponent on six will result in 1296?". The answer to that question is...
dick/merlin, i hope my previous message cam through. logs are only needed to solve 6^x=1296, not the others. and yes, you need logs. you raised an interesting...
Maybe not quite what's being asked for, but GC can solve this kind of thing implicitly. You can then drag along the curve to get the coordinates of the...
... Just type Command-l (the letter L) or select "Subscript" from the "Math" menu. ... If you search in Help for "subscripts", it comes up with this. Command-f...
You can use subscripts to abbreviate sums and function definitions. For example, you can use the traditional summation notation for series (the curve in blue)....

Below, I've used the parametric version for the skew-line version (from Mathworld) and adjusted the a, c, and n parameters to get a pretty good matchup,...
The "b" parameter below seems to govern the slant of the wires, or maybe the twist of the two hoops relative to each other. By fiddling with the a, b, and n...
The Hyperboloid holds the secret to the shape of the cooling towers usually associated with atomic power stations but also used for other cooling needs. It is...
Thanks for the information! I always wondered about this. There's ... Doing a quick Google search, it looks like this advantage of the hyperboloid was...
Still wondering what the advantage of the shape might be for cooling, as opposed to efficient construction. Maybe the contraction and expansion as the gases...
I think the answer to using the shape may lie in three places, all relative to stability and safety. One is that any twisting in one direction would be ...
I've enjoyed this thread. Our math department still has one of the twisting wires models of a hyperboloid I think. I doubt it gets used much any more. Now the...
