Hello,
when you specify only one range in ImplicitPlot, Mathematica tries to
solve the equation before plotting. When you give the ranges of k _and_
c, then another Algorithm will be used. I'm afraid, Mathematica tries to
solve w.r.t. k. Otherwise the answer should come almost instantly.
In[1]:= L = 48; a = 1/10; A = 1; r = 1/10; t = 5/108;
eqn = FullSimplify[
A*r*L*(1 - a)*(1 - t)*c*k^a ==
(a + (1 - a)*(1 - t))*L^2*(1 - a)^2*(1 - t)^3*k^(3*a - 1) +
L*(1 - a)*c*(1 - t)*((-A)*(a + (1 - a)*(1 - t))*(2 - t) -
(1 - a)*(1 - t)^2 + A*a*(1 - t))*k^(2*a - 1) +
A*c^2*(A*(a + (1 - a)*(1 - t)) + (1 - a)*(1 - t) -
A*a*(1 - t))*k^(a - 1) + A^2*r*c^2,
k > 0]
Out[2]=
103*c*(16819*k^(1/10) + 648*k) ==
15*c^2*(1859 + 108*k^(9/10)) + 25132721*k^(1/5)
In[3]:=
First[Timing[ImplicitPlot[eqn, {k, 0.8, 1.2}, {c, 0, 50},
PlotPoints -> 300, ImageSize -> 500, AspectRatio ->
GoldenRatio - 1]]]
[plot omitted]
Out[3]= 0.234*Second
And don't be afraid; if you did not overclock your hardware,
long-lasting calculations will not do any harm to your machine.
Rumors were afloat, some companies use their computers 24 hours/day ;-)
