Dynamic Graphs 2 |
|
Activity 1 |
Recall our last dynalab activity. Near the end of the activity, you were guessing the function that was represented by a given dyangraph. Please do the same with the dynagraphs below. Significant characteristics to guide your thought process are: |

Activity 2 |
Now we will expand our repertoire of functions. This dynagraph represents a function that is neither linear nor quadratic. Play around with it bit and answer the following questions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Discuss with a colleague what function this might represent. Make a table of values to help in your decision. Then check your conjecture by clicking on the “Show Function” button. |
|
Guess the function represented by each of the following. |
|

|
Activity 3 |
Now, experiment with this dynagraph. |
|
If you move the inputs around too quickly, the behavior of the outputs seems totally wild, so move the inputs very slowly as you answer the following questions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Guess the function represented by each of the following. |

Activity 4 |
|
Last one. Experiment with this dynagraph and answer the usual questions, listed below |
for your convenience. |
