I am currently doing a little project which involves using a defined function. I set values for two terms, and I took the derivative and squared the two terms. When I attempt to plot it, I do not get anything in the window, nor do I get any errors. Here is what I have for code:
a = ((1/8)*(((0.1*t) - 3)^5)) - 0.5*(((0.1*t) - 3)^3)
b = ((0.1*t) - 3)^2
e = Sqrt[((a')^2) + ((b')^2)]
I receive the following output for the solution of "e"
Sqrt[(Derivative[1][(-0.5 (-3 + 0.1 t)^3 + 1/8 (-3 + 0.1 t)^5)])^2 + (Derivative[1][((-3 + 0.1 t)^2)])^2]
When I go to plot:
Plot[e, {t, 0, 60}, AspectRatio -> 0.5, Frame -> True]
I get a graph with no plot.
Is there something I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
e[1.23]
for instance, for a hint. $\endgroup$'
) are suppose to do? You probably wante = Sqrt[(D[a,t]^2) + (D[b,t]^2)]
