general

literally what I've been trying for the past 2 hours

not helpful

is all you need to do calling solve then filtering for greater than 0?

yes because his answer will either be the right answer or the negative of that

I think so

Considering I just solved it by hand, yes

Cheese

I guess I could do newton raphson iteration but that seems like overkill

then filter the result

>iteration

for what

A week later they fact check saying the cdc didn’t say only 6% were pure covid deaths when they clearly did

you are not solving a variable problem you are solving a system of 2 equations with 1 unknown

two unknowns

you make a guess for 1 pika

the t cancels

my bad

or does not cancel

rather you solve for it

either way you do not need to guess for either of them

and you do not need iteration

you being given a degrees value for theta concerns me

I mean, you can just run the solve command twice as a non elegant solution, once for T, the total flight time

and once for V0

but you can only do that in this case because sintheta = costheta = 1/root(2)

my thing should work, you just need to filter the t values because I don't know what the shape of the resultant is going to be

right and that gives me a struct leg

but how to I extract an answer from that struct

show me what it looks like

how do you need to give the answer at the end?

I want to to print something like v0=9.6

so it is just printing it out?

in the command window

yeah

filtering it and printing it out

everything else I get

can you do this? disp(ans.v0)

that prints this

is there a simplify command

no idea why it doesn't solve it

that's the big issue I have been having

what is the data type?

default I guess, not 100% sure what you mean by data type

thats right btw

that is 9.6

I know it is pika....

then it did solve it

I have been getting this for the last 2 hours

what type of field is v0?

where P(1) was his function evaluated at 1

dunno if this helps

also is there a better way to define v0 and t?

you could specify they are real numbers

and probably specify they are positive

idk

pika you can force only real solutions and max one solution

I assumed so

assuming principle is positive

this would be so much easier if you could just use the free and more useful python

it doesn't like your notation for it, I might just try to do newton raphson honestly

I get an invalid expression error for the disp(["v0 = ", double(v0t.v(1)); line

you are trying to overcomplicate something just because you won't bother debugging anything

you actually have a parser there to point out typos

still doesn't like that line

yeah there's a missing )

then fix it

these are trivial typos

anyways

today i spent 4 hours doing statistics in analyitic chem

OWNED!
