Determine gradient?
Hello,
Can someone explain to me how the compression factor of 0.25 is calculated here? 🤔
So what does the calculation look like, because 0.25 to the power of 3 does not equal 2 😅 and 2 to the power of 3 does not equal 8.
Example 3.3
Thanks!
Let’s set for the point -2|2
2 = -0.25(-2+2)^3 + 2
2 = -0.25(0)^3 + 2
2 = -0.25 * 0 + 2
2 = 2
You need to replace x in the function equation with the x coordinate
If you want to determine the gradient factor, you need to dissolve after m(degradation factor). Here we use the point -4|4
4 = m * (-4+2)^3 + 2 | -2
2 = m * (-2)^3 | /(-2)^3
2-8 = m
-0.25 = m
f(x) = -x3
f(-2) = 8
However, it should apply:
f(-2) = 2
f(x) must therefore be divided by 4 or are multiplied by 0.25.
No, but 2/8 gives 0.25.
Perfect
