Hello,
I'm a newbie and if the answer to my problem seems obvious, I'm sorry...
I have a geometrical problem to solve, i.e. I want to know the planar
parametric curve describes by a point submitted to geometrical
constraints. I have already obtained the parametric equations [
fx(theta), fy(theta) ] but now, I want to solve fy(theta) -
fy(theta+phi) = 0 but I did not succeed in using sequently trigexpand,
trigsimp, trigreduce then solve...
Is in maxima a special way to do that, or have I to return to my
blackboard and try to solve my equation by myself ?
Here is my f(t) :
0.029835*SIN(
ATAN2(0.006*SIN(4*t+0.97222222222222*%PI)
-0.006*SIN(4*t+0.34722222222222*%PI)
,0.006*COS(4*t+0.97222222222222*%PI)
-0.006*COS(4*t+0.34722222222222*%PI)
+0.04)
+ASIN(16.75884028825205*SQRT(
(0.006*SIN(4*t+0.97222222222222*%PI)
-0.006*SIN(4*t+0.34722222222222*%PI))^2
+(0.006*COS(4*t+0.97222222222222*%PI)
-0.006*COS(4*t+0.34722222222222*%PI)+0.04)^2)
)
-%PI/2
)
+0.006*SIN(4*t+0.34722222222222*%PI)
When I try to solve f(t)-f(t+phi) = 0 , phi as a known value (i.e. two
solutions exist) maxima does nothing than return to the next line with
an input prompt...
Best regards,
