Re: Math Question
Posted: Sat May 10, 2008 5:00 pmYes. It's an ancient secret passed on from mentor to apprentice. Only when the apprentice beats the mentor in a fight will he be introduced into the secrets of this ancient craft, at that point the mentor has nothing more to learn to him and he will roam the lands and in time take an apprentice himself.

In that case I would draw a graph and then turn the paper 90° to the left or right.

well, it's for a project. We have to graph a picture and I'd like to do it this way instead of drawing out two lines. I'm just weird like that.

Oh, you're talking about the actual product... That would rotate the whole thing 90 degrees.

x=|y|
though, really it's not a function
you could easily figure out a way to do with a parametric equation though, I'm sure

I'm assuming you are doing this for some kind of high school math class.
What level are you at right now?
Cause if you dont understand any of it, I'm guessing its one of the lower ones.
Maybe if we knew we could help a bit more.
