A common tangent to two general parabolas 2015-11-15
Kind pose la question :
Hi, I want to find the common tangent of two general parabolas, but i don't know if it's possible or not.
If it's possible, please make a tutorial.

The second parabola equation : Gx^2 + Hxy + Iy^2 + Jx + Ky + L = 0.

I need this because i want to find the equation of Beloch fold. (Huzita - Hatori 6th axiom) However if you know any other method to find Beloch folds equation, I am open for any suggestions.

Simplify the expression 2012-02-12
Christy pose la question :
Hi guys, ok so I'm having problems with solving this equation since it's been so long I've done precal.
I have to find critical points so I have to find the derivative first. This is what I've done so far s(t)= (t-6)^4 * (t+1)^2
t'= 4(t-6)^3*(1)*(t+1)^2+ 2(t+1)(1)*(t-6)^4
so this is where I got stuck, which is the algebra part. How can I simplify this to get the answer to figure out the critical points.

hi, i'm totally lost. i understand that you need to find a lowest common denominator to subtract two fractions (rational expressions) with different denominators. but what if the denominators are "x-1" and "x". is x the common denominator? if so what happens to the "-1"? do you know of any live online help i can get with the following:

3/(x-1) - (1-2x)/x

i've looked through my notes and have no examples that quite match that i can follow to get through it. please help!
