MAPLE Question!

Hi,

How do you plot a graph equal to x on MAPLE, e.g. x=5 or x=-2? It won't do it!

Anyone?

Thanks

Does anybody use MAPLE?
Wrong forum.


To plot x = 5 use "plot(5, x)". So we're telling it to plot f(x) against x where f(x) = 5.

If I helped you out, how about some rep?

If you can tell me how to do a triple vector product, as it won't let me do it, I will give you this rep, plus the rep on my brothers account (look up Snobpence17) plus the rep on my friends (look up Mr Snips).

define the 3 vectors a,b and c as:

a := <x,y,z>; etc. for b and c aswel.

then:

d := crossproduct(a,b);
e := crossproduct(d,c);

where e is the vector triple product.

That should have been my rep! Anyway, are you sure that's right?

First load up Linear Algebra ("with(LinearAlgebra)")
Define your vectors a, b and c. The triple product is a . (b X c). To get this we use
"a.(CrossProduct(b, c));"

alternatively just define
"d:=CrossProduct(b, c)" (so d = b X c)
and then the triple product is simply
"a.d"

Remember to use "." rather than "*" for dot products and matrix multiplication.


If you want the vector triple product (a X (b X c)) use

"CrossProduct(a, (CrossProduct(b, c)))"
or
"CrossProduct(a, d)"
where d is as before.

You can have the rep.

I honestly do not care about reputation on the internet. :cool:

I wondered whether to include the with(LinearAlgebra) or with(Student[LinearAlgebra]); but decided not to say as assumed it'd be loaded.
