  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
+close
  1. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  2. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  3. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

im told time cant be negative hence t=-1 cannot exist?

You normally have the starting conditions at t = 0

#

So talking about negative times doesn't make sense

#

Is like with the problems of you throwing a ball from a building, at t = 0 it is at the top and then as time progresses, it will get far away from the building

#

But it doesn't make sense asking about what happens before the ball is thrown

Negative time doesn't exist

#

It's time time travelling 1 second in the past

#

For q1 set x(t)=0 and there'll be a quadratic equation
