I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for software that can be used to create good looking graphs for e.g Powerpoint presentations? | have access to a range of packages (Excel, Origin, Matlab) but none of them can create really "slick" locking graphs (but they are fine for figures in...

Homework Statement I've tested the circuit above, when the switch is in the 2nd position (not the one on the picture) and got the below graph from the plotted data I received. The capacitor C1 has been charged to 4V, and will start to discharge through R3. I'll have to explain...

I don't understand why I am screwing this up so bad. Sketch the graph of the equation r = 2 + 4cos(\theta) in polar coordinates. So I did: 0 = 2 + 4cos(\theta) = -\frac{1}{2} = cos(\theta) Then got cos(\theta) is -\frac{1}{2} @ \frac{2\pi}{3} and @ \frac{4\pi}{3} Then i plotted points to...

I know the general equation for trig functions and how to manipulate them: y=A sin [B (x-c)] + D howver , the tan function has a period of ∏/b. how is this derived? I know it has to do with tan = y/x right? but I just don't understand how to derive the period when you're graphing a tan...

So I'm currently trying to review a manuscript for my labmate, who I have good working dynamics with, and I've been slowly combing through the rough draft and find that many of the bar graphs he has in the manuscript have truncated Y axes. He claims to have statistical significance between...

Quote from 'The Physics of Vibrations and Waves by H.J.Pain': "However when we solve the equation of motion we shall find that the behaviour of x with time has a sinusoidal or cosinusoidal dependence, and it will prove more appropriate to consider not \nu, but the angular frequency \omega =...

It often seems as though it's backwards from what it should be, I had understood -f(x) meant to flip x and y, from positive to negative, or vice versa, and f(-x) to mean you just make x negative. If you had the points (2,2) you'd make them (-2,-2) for -f(x) and (-2,2) for f(-x) Is my...

Hi, I seem to be having some issues going from state space representation of a system to signal flow graph representation. My troubles seem to be, if I have something like this \frac{d}{dt}x_{1}(t) = v_{1}(t) In state space representation I list functions to which the derivatives are as...

Srednicki's QFT book uses scalar \phi^3 as an example of a QFT. To make a calculation to all orders, Srednicki claims (chpt 19) you calculate all 1P1 graphs for 2 external lines, giving the self-energy. He then says you calculate all the 1p1 graphs for 3 external lines, giving the 3-point...

Vizing's theorem states that a graph can be edge-colored in either Δ or Δ+1 colors, where Δ is the maximum degree of the graph. A graph with edge chromatic number equal to Δ is known as a class 1 graph. A graph with edge chromatic number equal to Δ+1 is known as a class 2 graph. which one of...

In my project I basically need to plot 3D color coded surface graphs using MATLAB taking input from multiple .dat files (i have 1000 .dat files). In each file I have parameters x and y, and when I take multiple files, each having a different value of z, I can finally plot a graph. so does anyone...

Can someone explain how these graphs are drawn. How does the value of p/q affect this graph? How does the domain and range change? How are the asymptotes found? The below is an image about what I'm talking about: Here is a question the deals with this type of graph (no idea how to solve it...

Can someone explain the following: How does changing the value of p/q affect the drawing of the graph (so domain/range/shape etc) What makes this graph an odd function? How to work out asymptotes? Heres a picture so you know what I'm referring to: And below is a question dealing with this...

Hey! :o I got stuck at the following exercise... Could you give me an idea how to show this? Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph and $u,v$ $\epsilon$ $V$.If $d(v,u)=k$,then there is a path $v=v_{1},v_{2},...,v_{k+1}=u$ so that $\{v_{i},v_{j}\}$ doesn't belong in $E$ for $j \geq i+2$...

I have read that the structure of almost all organic molecules can be represented visually as Planar Graphs, i.e. 2-dimensional lattice-like structures consisting of nodes (points) connected by lines in which no lines cross. From the perspective of Physical Chemistry, does anybody know why this...

Suppose a generalization of planar graph is considered into 3D space : a graph is said "spatial" if it can be constructed in Euclidean 3D space in such a way that no edge intersects a face. The questions are the following : -as for plane graphs their chromatic number is 4, can we show...

Hello guys, I am having a hard time understanding velocity vs time graphs. In one of my homework problems I was given a velocity vs time graph and asked to find the average speed in a time interval of 9 seconds. I am unsure how to go about this. Also, how would I find displacement at a...

im confused with finding the max velocity , acceleration, and position. Usually in these types of problems I'm given a function, and an interval and have to find the max acceleration or velocity. Sometimes a negative number comes up which is greater in magnitude than the other numbers...

I understand how position vs. time diagrams can give velocity. If the line is flat then the velocity is zero (the particle is still), and all the other basic things I need to know, but what if the line was vertical? The slope would be undefined; therefore, velocity would be undefined. In...

I'm trying to create a function that graphs a capital "B" So it's not really a function, it has multiple y values for some x values, but I'm achieving that by using "±" signs when appropriate. My problem, however is the vertical line. I thought for a long time how to come up with a equation...

So, I have to assess the relationship between the Constant of a Spring and the Time Period of Oscillations. I have researched the equation that links the two and I know that to have a straight line graph I need to plot: T2 against 1/K However, I do not know why; how I get to that conclusion...

Okay, so I've got a question on graphs and areas under curves. For example, a force-distance graph, with force on the y-axis and distance on the x-axis, where you find work done from that graph. I understand that a constant force will produce a horizontal line on the graph, like so: Force...

Trying to help someone out with their assignments on basic polar graphs. This first question is very easy to determine the poles from as the limacon has an inner loop. But when you have a limacon WITHOUT (below) an inner loop, how does the "max from pole" and "min from pole" figure? It's been...

There was not enough room to fit my graphs in the text where they were supposed to go so latex put them in the next page. This meant that this page only has these two graphs and the text begins again on the page after that. There is a lot of space between (see attached). How do i make it take up...
