standard_description: Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).
problem_activity: Task
A physics professor says: "Of course, it is easy to see that
$$ L_0 \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}} = 0 $$
when $v = c$."
Give a possible explanation in terms of the structure of the expression on the left why the professor might say that.
Assuming that $L_0$ and $c$ are positive, what is the greatest possible value of the expression on the left?  Explain your answer in terms of the structure of the expression.
