4 resourcesSolving Quadratics and Cubics Graphically
The graph of y = f(x), a quadratic or a cubic (choose, or mix), is drawn: read approximate solutions of f(x) = 0, then f(x) = a and f(x) = g(x) by drawing a line, then equations that must be rearranged to find the line to draw.…
🧮 ToolGraph Plotter
A graphing calculator: type y = f(x), x = g(y), implicit relations such as x² + y² = 25, inequalities (shaded, dashed for < and solid for ≤), parametric and polar curves, points and tables, functions f(x) = … with f′(x), and…
