Extraneous solutions |
2015-03-07 |
|
From Emily:
I have a question about Extraneous Solutions, Because I was recently researching to figure out
on how to determine that a solution is extraneous and many of the answers talked about how if a answer is negative
that it should always be extraneous but now I found out that positive solutions can also be considered as extraneous solutions
so that is why I am really confused Extraneous Solution's.
I would really appreciate it if you could clearly explain to me how to determine an extraneous solution from a normal solution.
Thanks,
Emily

Find the intersection of y=x-1 and y=sin(x) |
2009-10-10 |
|
From Usama:
There are many modern calculators and softwares that can plot the functions.
I have two very simple equations y=x-1 and y=sin(x), if i draw them manually on paper i can not get the accurate value.
But i think a computer can easily draw perfect straight and curve lines so it should be easy to find the intersection point of two lines.
Is there any way or software that can tell the exact value of intersection point of two lines?
