I am building an algebra 1 course for my school, and was wanting to create simple randomly generating practice sets for graphing points / lines / etc.

However, the Sketch answer type doesn't allow for any variable input like the other questions do. Is there a work around? 

Presuming a randomly generated $x and $y, is there any way to check to see if a student has plotted the point ($x, $y)?

I have an update below

I am student, and bought Maple student version 2017 and went through verification and activation with no probems and been using Maple for number of days.

But few days ago, I disconnected my internet service provider, and so now I have no access to the internet from my home PC where I installed Maple (I am writing this from  library)

Now at home, when I start Maple, I get a message saying that my licence will expire in 10 or 9  days or so. I do not understand this messge. Why it comes up now and did not come up before when I had internet access? 

Does one need to be connected to the internet all the time to use Maple? What if one does not have internet access?

I did remove one monitor from my PC also. Do you think Maple detected change in PC (one less monitor) and now it thinks this is new PC? But this makes no sense.

How do I tell Maple I have activated my Maple if I do not have internet access?

Update

After installing Maple 2017.1, now each time I disconnect from the internet, I am not able to start Maple !  I get this error

When I connect to the internet and try again, Maple comes up OK and it works. (it does NOT ask me to activate). I have allready activated OK before. This message only comes up when I am not connected to the internet.

This tells me Maple is trying to connect to the internet each time for some reason to verify my installation? But when if I do not want to be connected to the internet and still use Maple?

I never installed beta Maple or anything like this before. What to do to make Maple start without being connected to the internet? I did not change my PC.

Hello Members,

I've to export some Maple lines to a LaTex file. I used the Maple command "Export as" and I saved the file like a .tex file. But when I open that file, it doesn't work because my LaTex doesn't recognise the package \usepackage{maplestd2e}.

How can I do? I put also my file in the post!

Thank you :)

hi, learners of maple like me, i was handling a project,but i came across this problem,and i began to doubt the accuracy of maple-plot,,,

very simply expression,result3,changing with the parameter f,

i first plot the f from 100 to 5000,

than i need to watch closer,

so i change the define domain of parameter f, plot f from 100 to 1000,  

and the result of plot definitely  differs from the previous one. 

a low vally in the first figure (f in the scale of 100-1000),disappears! that's insane...

you can see below,

anyone see it, can you give me some clue? i really do not understand this. why ,why why,,

Hi,

When I do the derivation of a summation in order to one single term should not the result come out of the summation in the example attached in the file doubt? for example the derivative should not have yielded Ci and not the summation of Ci because for example if want the derivative in order to y1 it should be only C1 and not the summation of Ci.

The same happen when I go to a more complex case like in the file Equation21v2, should the result in the last double summation before T drop the summation over i to NC?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

I have a problem of having a problem to solve the following equation with the this error. I found out that it might be due to that I have a differential that is squared and maple could not calculate it as after square root it will have positive and negative. May I know how to overcome this other than changing my equations?

Hi Guyz 

I have a problem with a numerical solution.

with the boundary conditions mentioned in the file we want to solve the differential equation numerically and find omega by using the shooting method

i want to know how  to save a  a constant of a funcition as a variable.

for example:
eq:=x=1-3*t

i want to save 3 as variable
c:=3

I have a workbook that derives the Cobb-Douglas factor demand functions:

The final formulas (10) and (11) are not in the same format as the formulas in my textbook (by Hal Varian). In fact my last formulas betray no obvious symmetry while Varian's forms do.

Here is a picture of them scraped from the text.

Is it possible to instruct Maple to obtain these forms?

Maple 17 is very exciting so I am hopeful ....

Hi everyone,

Instead of writing:

a[1] < b[1] or (a[1] = b[1] and a[2] < b[2]) or (a[1] = b[1] and a[2] = b[2] and a[3] < b[3]) or (a[1] = b[1] and a[2] = b[2] and a[3] = b[3] and a[4] < b[4]) or (a[1] = b[1] and a[2] = b[2] and a[3] = b[3] and a[4] = b[4] and a[5] < b[5])...

Is there a more convenient way to do so? Plus, what if a[1] = b[1] and a[2] = b[2] and ... and a[99] = b[99] and a[100] < b[100]? I do not imagine writhing everything.

Thanks for your help. 

In the below calculations, I get some solutions after solving the system. I am not sure if this is done assuming that all the values that are under the radicals are positive or indeed they are positive without further assumptions. I mean can I be sure that each given set of solution is a feasible solution? I suspect that Maple may ignore the assumptions sometimes.  

Please, can someone give me a hand? I can not understand why in the first case the collect command does not work while the second one works correctly. Many thanks for your attention.trasformaziione_equazioni1.mw

The following are the equation and plot3d of the minimal surface named Catalan:

Catalan := [alpha-sin(alpha)*cosh(beta), 1-cos(alpha)*cosh(beta), 4*sin((1/2)*alpha)*sinh((1/2)*beta)]
plot3d(Catalan, alpha = 0 .. 2*Pi, beta = -3 .. 3, scaling = constrained, title = "Catalan's surface", titlefont = [Courier, bold, 14])

I would like to color and thicken the edge of this surface to emphasize what I presume is the wire which frames the soap film which forms the surface.

Contourplot3d only shows contours at constant values of the z coordinate, however the plot3d display with style option "surface with line" clearly shows the surface's edge contour, among others.

Given the surface equation, is there any way to display the surface edge programmatically e.g. as a spacecurve? 

Without my knowingly changing any Maple parameters, the execution time values of variables appearing in the window displayed when a DEBUG statement is executed have recently started to be listed at the end of my worksheet.

If I have been doing extensive debugging this list can be quite lengthy and a nuisance to erase.

Why did this listing suddenly begin and how can I stop it?
