These are questions asked by nicholasfbennett

Looking everywhere for this.  Hard to find.  Trying to shade under the curve of $2=x^{.5}+y^{.5}$ from x=0 to 1.  Here is what I found and tried:

 

A:=implicitplot(x^.5+y^.5=2,x=-1..2,y=-1..2,thickness=3,color=blue):
B:=implicitplot(x^.5+y^.5=2,x=0..1,filled=true,color=yellow,view[0..1,-1..1]):
plots[display](A,B, scaling=constrained);

 

 

no idea what the view does.  Any help would be much appreciated.

I am continuing work with buttons and I wanted to be able to clear graphs with a button.  I understand how to communicate with the button because of other posts by members that have been very helpful.    I want the button to be able to delete the graphs that I have drawn in Plot0.

 

Is there a way this can happen? Or do my students just need to type a new equation in to the mathematical expression box to plot new functions?

 

Any help is appeciated. I could not find anything online that I could get to work. I have included the document

Maple Player seems like it could be an outstanding piece of software, yet with the new operating system for Ipad, the program crashes immediately. I am unable to find any solutions. I also stumbled across a post in which Maplesoft is no longer providing support for the APP. Is this true?

I am attaching my file. Many of you have given great help on how to get dynamic Maple activities working.  My question again is along those lines. I have created a parabola with sliders a,h, and k.  What I am trying to do is have a button that says show vertex on the equation y=a(x-h)^2+k. However, when I connect the button with Plot3, I plot the the vertex in a new window.  Here is the most successful code I used:

Do(%Plot3=(plot([[%Slider2,%Slider1]],style=point,colour=blue,symbol=solidcircle,symbolsize=18)));

So I do get the point I want (h,k), but the point is not on the function itself.  I have tried muliple maple commands with no luck.  I am wonder how I can get the point (h,k) to be on the function when I hit the "show vertex" button.

Thank you for you time,

I created a interactice slider and graph (Parabolas_In_Vertex_.mw)and want to have a title to display the actual equation being graphed. plot(x^2,title="Graph of")where graph of is, I would like it to say "graph of ax^2. with a being the value of the slider. I have inserted a title and put the following code in, but it does not work:

display( [

'title' = typeset( "Graph of ", y = %Slider*x^2),
'titlefont' = ["Times New Roman", 'BOLD', 14]]
);

This was put in the edit click action of the title. Any help would be great. I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find the answer. I can send you my file if you would like to look at it.
