Update the value of a function in Manim
Tuesday, November 10, 2020
The code below will update the function V = 3(x - 6)2 as x increases in value. Notice that the equation is a parabolic curve with independent variable x and dependent variable V. The whole graph actually cannot be fitted on the screen. To improve visibility, the equation was multiplied by a reduction factor whose value is embedded-hard into the equation.

The implementation here is more advance than my way of coding. Much of the above code was lifted from the work of Theorem of Beethoven and was modified to cater my specific need.
