I recently purchased mathcad prime 3.0 and was wondering how to define the units on the independent variable of a function with out defining a specific number for the variable. For example,

if I had the function f(x)=x^2, and I wanted x to be in seconds, how would I tell that to mathcad?

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response! So what it does is when I add the seconds and then subtract the seconds, it assumes that x must be in seconds? Is that correct?

Yes, it is!
