The eight activities in this book provide an interactive look at the three functions typically studied in Beginning Algebra: linear, quadratic, and exponential equations.
The eight activities in this book provide an interactive look at the three functions typically studied in Beginning Algebra: linear, quadratic, and exponential equations.Students first study the functions themselves and the effects of various parameters upon them, and then use the Transformation Graphing App as a modeling tool.
The techniques introduced also may be applied to other functions. Author(s) - Allan E. Bellmanl;
