How can parametric equations help us understand the dynamics of Christian marriage?

19 comments:

  1. Parametric equations are just as sensitive as marriages in they way one detail can change everything. With a parametric equation, the many integers adjust and tinker with the graph. For instance, x=8cos(t), y=8sin(t) is just a simple, bigger circle, but x=8cos(25t), y=8sin(25t) looks really crazy in comparison. In marriage, if the couple responds to the same situation in a similar way one time, but the man reacts differently the next occurrence, the outcome as a whole might be way different. One small detail in both subjects can change everything in the end. Also in parametric equations, the same equation can look a lot different depending on how you change the window it’s in. An equation for a circle can be changed to look like a triangle or a square. In marriage, the same concept but with different proportions can also have new results. Shopping for a used sedan and a new Ferrari racecar can have a very different outcome. In this case, parametric and marriage can use similar situations and factors, but end in completely different ways.

  2. A parametric equation is when the x variable and the y variable both depend on the t variable. Comparing this to marriage can help us understand what parametric equations are. Let’s say that the x variable is the wife’s view of the marriage, the y variable is the husband’s view of the marriage , and the t variable is the actions of the husband and wife. If something changes in either of their actions, then their view’s of the marriage will change drastically. Even if the change is minute, the marriage will change. However, the change doesn’t always have to be for the worse. Sometimes, the change will enhance their views, or maybe only one of the view’s. No matter what the action is, something about their views of the marriage will change. This helps us understand how parametric equations work, because x and y are both dependant on t. just like in the marriage.

  3. Parametric equations are all different. X and Y both depend on t, which is time. All equations are different, and they start farther up while others start farther down. No marriage is perfect, and many people have different lives where they start very low or very high. In a Christian marriage, we need to view Jesus as our life and needing God to be there all the time. Each spouse has to work together. Marriages do depend on time; every marriage should depend on time so that they can work through things so much better. They have so much time to work through all the rough edges, and the great struggles that everyone has. God is seen through all of the X and Y variables lives, and time is everything to us. Marriages depend on time and God depends on time.

  4. when dealing with parametric equations it is very important to eknowledge that both of (x,y) variables completely depend on (t.) (x,y) can have two unidentical equations but in some mathematical way they are able to work with each other to function correctly. But there are some cases where each equation cant function the right way unless the problem is fixed. parametric equations can be compared to a christian marrriage in many simular ways. (x,y) can be represented as husband and wife that depend on (t) which is God to look onto for guidence. A man and a woman are two different creators but once they find that connection that when they over look their differences and focus on how they fit with one another. at times a marriage can fail due to misunderstandings, arugements or irriation but thats when they should find the problem, work through it and turn to God for help. Marriage is hard but when the husband and wife work together that when good things happen. There are many different parametric equations as to there are different types of marriages but they all connect to where they relie on something that will make their relationships work.

  5. In parametric equations x and y are dependent on t. I think this concept can be compared to a Christian marriage. In order for a Christian marriage to work both partners must be dependent on something. If x is the husband and y is the wife they need both need to be dependent on t to make their marriage work. T in my opinion for a successful marriage is God. If both husband and wife don’t have a relationship with God and don’t rely on him then I think eventually the marriage will fall apart. To have anything truly uplifting, successful, and good in life I think one must have God in their lives. A person having God in their life is shown true love. The love a husband and wife are shown through their relationship with God can carry over to their relationship with each other. So like parametric equation, when a husband and wife are dependent on God they can have a successful Christian marriage.

  6. Parametric equations are very similar to how marriages should be. In a parametric equation you have two variables that are both dependent on t. When you relate this to a marriage, the two variables are the couple and the t should be God. For people to have successful christian marriages they need to have God be the center. The x and y variables in the equation both have to work together to get the outcome of t. This is the same in a marriage. If a couple wants to have a good christian marriage, in which God is reflected, they need to be able to work together and get along. If they don’t help each other out and care for each other, then God will not be reflected in their marriage. The equation would be impossible if x and y did not work together. Christian marriages need to have God in them in order to work out.

  7. Parametric equations and marriages are very similar. Let’s say that x is the man’s point of view on the marriage and y is the woman’s view. The variable t represents events that will both influence the man and woman’s view on the marriage. Sine and cosine and other numbers in the equation will represent the ideals and morals of each individual. If you modify any part of the equation the will outcome will change. Within the marriage, if the man or woman’s ideals change their marriage will lead into a direction. Combining different combinations of ideals and events will either lead to a great, happy marriage or a horrible, boring marriage. This is similar to the graphs you can create by modifying standard parametric equations. Some graphs grab your attention immediately and others look like a scribbled mess. In a way a traditional Christian marriage is very similar to a parametric equation, the two both follow the same basic pattern.

  8. Both the husband (x) and wife (y) must depend on God (t) to have a happy and successful Christian marriage. The x and y can’t form the necessary graph without t. T is the rock, the foundation that holds the graph (and marriage) together. Without the husband and wife both depending on God they cannot live happily ever after. The bible tells believer to marry other believers because believers most band together to help nonbelievers find God’s love. In God’s eyes the husband and wife are equal, without that equality there would always be a power struggle between the husband and wife. Men and women both need to depend on God in all there trails and hardships. In a parametric equation x and y both depend on t (time). If you leave out x, y, or t the graph will show up as ERROR. To form a successful graph x and y need to depend on t. As in a happy and successful marriage, the husband and wife must put their trust and depend on God.

  9. In a parametric equation the X and Y both depend on T, while a marriage has a husband and wife who both depend on each other and God. In a parametric equation you can have a perfect circle, this could mean a marriage is running smoothly and is strong; but if X or Y were to change then the circle would not be circle no more. This is just like a marriage, the husband and wife could grow apart or have no communication so the marriage starts to change slowly. But if X and Y both equaled to T then the shape would never change or go back to a circle. So the husband and wife both need T so their marriage can last. God gives us help so married people can stay together and never fall apart. That is why couple’s have talks with pastors before marriage, so they can make sure they are ready for marriage and know they are doing the right thing. These chats with a pastor can have a huge impact later on in the marriage. The husband and wife can both turn to God when they need help or have disagreements with each other. Marriage needs to have an X and Y to function but they need T to function smoothly and last forever.

  10. Parametric functions are similar to marriage. Both of the spouses need to depend or agree on something to have an easy solution. Same idea goes into a parametric function both x and y (spouses) need to depend on t. In this case god will represent t. The husband and wife need to depend on god for guidence and help. As in a problem of a parametric function x and y need the help of t or error will occur. In a marriage without the t (God) problems will occur and error will come.

  11. In parametric equations, x and y both depend on t. Through this understanding people can understand the dynamics of a Christian marriage. X would represent the wife in the situation and Y would represent the husband in the situation. T would represent the problem/reaction of the situation. In a parametric equation graph, x and y make the original graph but when you change the t, then the whole graph changes. So, if the husband (y) and wife (x) are together and a situation (t) comes up where both react differently to the situation their marriage will change.

  12. In a parametric equation the variables X and Y depend on T; X and Y can be man and wife in which they depend on God in their marriage. Every marriage has two individuals in which the X and Y are completely like two different equations; both unique in their own way but working together to make something whole. Marriage is very similiar; you have two individuals who are completely different but they work together. Of course marriage depends on the basis of matrimony which is the church. T would be God because X and Y look up to T for guidance and stability. X and Y would not work without T; therefore a man and woman won't work without God in their marriage.

  13. T=God or their relation X and Y= the couple
    In Christian marriage they base their vow on something greater than each other even in non Christian marriages their vows are based on something far greater. I am sure I am not the only one who thinks T equals God but I find two expressions from this. The first is where god equals T and just as T control everything that happens in X and Y but X and Y are still their own characteristics. They could take T in a different sense than a different X and Y. So each parametric equation is different and can take T differently and doesn’t always know that T is God. Until someone tell them about this way of thinking. Also X and Y could be total opposites like X can be –X and Y is Y or they can both be negatives. But the equation still works out because of T. What amazes me is how t is in control of the equation and how T can make a small change but change the outcome of X and Y greatly. But this is not mentioned in parametric equations but T as in God can and will let X and Y go alone for a while to see how they will do or they choose to go alone without T. But then it isn’t a parametric equation anymore. And I am not sure how well equations work without some hard evidence or something to rely on since I am only in Pre-Calc still but I am sure it is very difficult. But I do know that parametric equation somehow work out because of T.
    My other theory is that T could be the relation created by the X and Y couple. When people get married they find a relation that makes the marriage work. But over the years the equation may change and the old T doesn’t fit the equation anymore. So the couple can change the x or the Y or depending on both they can change T or their relationship. Some couples find the perfect T once they get married but some try to find a better T that fits them. Suggesting some X and Y’s are picky about what kind of T they want but they can’t find perfection or even close without help. This isn’t the definition of a Christian marriage as the EQ wanted but let me say this. A marriage without God hardly works but that doesn’t mean a non-Christian marriage can’t be saved. To God math doesn’t apply so he can make an impossible equation become possible or help X and Y find the perfect T only he can do that though. No other mathematician can.

  14. I do believe that parametric equations help us understand the dynamics of Christian marriage. I believe this because both parametric equations and marriages are complicated. A parametric equation you have to work at it to get better and this is the same in marriages. They both are never easy but with work you will find out the joys and benefits in both. I also think that as Christians we can find that as parametric equations can help us understand marriage. This is because in a parametric equation is when the variables X and Y depend on T. In marriage both the husband and the wife depend on God. Without God in their life it would be difficult for them to have a solid relationship together as husband and wife. So parametric equations can help we understand marriage in many ways. We can always work on it to make what we do worth while. This is also if we are Christians or non Christians.

  15. Parametric equations are a lot like the Christian marriage. A parametric equation has x and y, that depends on t. The 3 parts all work together to find a result or solution. Comparing it to a marriage, x can be the husband, y can be the wife, and t can be the strength of a marriage or God’s role between the two. The husband and wife depend on God and the strength of the marriage to keep it going strong. If the husband (x) changes something during the marriage, then the wife (y) and God’s role (t) could change. Once one variable changes in the equation then, it changes the result of the problem. In a marriage, when something changes, it could change the result of what happens in the end. The variables need each other to come up with a result. Just like a marriage, a wife and husband depend on God to keep their marriage strong and happy.

  16. Parametric equations are very complicated things. with the smallest mistake, the whole entire equation could be compromised. this is similar to how a christian marriage works. everything must me perfectly balanced for the marriage to work. the slightest mistake changes things. the T variable is like God. The X and Y variables are like the husband and wife. without Godf in the equation, or T, the equation just doesnt work right. i would go as far as to say that God should be the center of the marriage. so if you want to live a successful life and enjoy a happy marrige, take a parametric equation as an example and make God, or T, the center of your equation.

  17. Well in parametric equations, there is an X and a Y. They both can be very different or equal the same thing. Then T comes in and makes both X and Y become something different. Not to mention, X and Y need T, without T they would not be able to make such beautiful, complex and (sometimes) simple graphs. So X and Y could be different or the same and, no matter what, they will always be depending on T. This is actually very similar to a Christian marriage. X could be the male and Y the could be the female. Just like parametric equations, they both can have the same similarities or be completely different people(have different personalities). Then both of them decided that they want their whole life and marriage to be focused and based around T. T is God(Jesus). When they decided to do that, not only does there marriage go better and life feels a little less sinful(even thou we are Christians, we sin, we are not perfect) but their life(God decides when) will eventually become the greatest blessing God could ever give anyone. Just like in parametric equations, becomes a beautiful graph(blessing)…

  18. If we put us as a big equation God will help us through anything. I think that we are as X and Y. i think that if you put us as X and Y God will be the equal to what ever it will be. God will be the big equation but God will help us though the good and the bad. If we have a problem in our marriage we usually ask the church or we pray to see if God will help us. God has a weird way of helping us in everyday life even in our marriage, even with Math problem.

  19. In a parametric equation, X and Y are both dependent on T. In a Christian marriage the Husband and wife are both dependents on God. The husband and wife need to work towards God to solve a certain problem of to prove they are doing what is asked of God. The same thing goes for X and Y, the either need to solve for T or Prove they equal T. T and God both have certain rules or boundaries that X and Y or the husband and wife have to follow. There are many certain routes that the couple can take. God is always there for guidance whenever the wrong route is taken. The problem maybe hard but Gods rules and true statements make it easy to work with and solve. God also allows you to make different changes for how you go about the equations. God is always the end result.
