The other half will proceed to the South Tower. [Music] Then it was my turn. It's my turn to go stand in front of Chief Hayden.

Interpreting equations graphically (example 2) | Mathematics III | High School Math | Khan Academy

Let F of T be ( e^{2T} - 2T^2 ) and H of T be ( 4 - 5T^2 ). The graphs of Y = F(T) and Y = H(T) are shown below. So, Y = F(T) is here in green, so this is really ( Y = e^{2T} - 2T^2 ). We see F(T) right over there, and Y = H(T) is shown in yellow. Alrigh…
