13. Discuss the possible values for
X
and
Y
. Ask questions
such as:
What does X represent?
(length)
Do you need negative values for Xmin?
(no)
What would you suggest for Xmin?
(Look at T-chart
data.)
What do you suggest for Xmax?
What does Y represent?
(number of beams)
Do you need negative values for Ymin?
What do you suggest for Ymin?
(Look at T-chart
data.)
What do you suggest for Ymax? Should it be smaller
or larger than Xmax?
