[QUOTE="a33, post: 1124812, member: 332642"] Ah! So ftapinamar "borrowed" the drawing from the F6AGR spreadsheet, I think. Thankfully, a computer can make translations automatically (google translate, deepl.com, ...)! FTAPinamar even offers the translation possibility on the website itself, so I use that. Not all computer translations make sense, though, as some translations from russian are hard to interpret for me, I found. It helps when you understand some basics from the original language, as I thankfully do with some other languages (but not russian). For parabola_6.0 and 6.2 there are (short) explanations how to use it, in some english and german (and maybe dutch?) spoken forums, if I recall correctly. For the cel where d1 is given (D38), when you click (or [B]doubleclick[/B]) on it, you'll find this equation: =(((B93+(D21/2))^2)/(4*D32))+D32 When you follow the cells that are referred to in the formula, you can 'distill' the original equation out of it. (when you've doubleclicked, follow the colored cells! B93 is in row 93, and has a formula of its own...) Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
