Desmos is a great way to teach modelling and data analysis as well as real-world mathematical applications. But at a more basic level it lets students graph equations in a way that provides instant results, mak
Graph created with Desmos.com. Nonlinear Function vs. Linear Function: Steps In order to figure out if your function is linear or nonlinear, you have several options. From easiest to hardest, they are: Study the equation. If it neatly fits the equation y = mx + b, then it’s linear....
Back to Top Finding Limit of Functions Graphically You can’t get an exact figure for a limit from a graph, but you can get a very good approximation. When determining limits from a graph, look for y-values (called function values) near the x-value in the question. Determining Limits Fr...
How to graph a Fourier series?Fourier series:A fourier series is a periodic function composed of harmonically related sinusoids and combined be a weighted summation. With appropriate weights, one cycle of summation can be made to approximate an arbitrary function in that interval....
If the numerator is multiple of the denominator the resulting graph shall reduce to a straight line (the slant asymptote). To avoid this the numerator must be altered (add or subtract something). So instead of x3 + 7x2 - 10x - 16, make the numerator x2 + 7x2 - 10x - 10. The ...
(a)Consider the functionk(t)=-10.03sin(21(t-2))-18.State the function's exact amplitude, midline, and period and explain how you can find them from the given equation not just the graph.[You can use Desmos to support your answ...
Curves corresponding to a sinusoidal function have a wave-like appearance. This distinctive shape is repeated indefinitely throughout its domain. To graph it we must identify its maximum amplitude, the value of its phase, and the frequency. Given its equation, we can extract the necessary ...
We can allow students to express themselves in computer science classes. We don’t have to make students feel dumb in computer science classes. We need to be open to broader definitions of what counts and is important in CS. We need a larger frame for the field of computer science and ...
For example, if a question refers to a quadratic equation, consider whether it’s testing your awareness of a given method of solving quadratic equations (factoring, completing the square, the quadratic formula) or of given qualities to that equation’s graph (number of solutions, vertex, ...
Using MatPlotLib, I will teach you how to make a graph timing the speed of quicksort on varying lengths of lists on Python. If you want an explanation on my quicksort code, I have made a separate article, however I am going to explain how to get it onto a graph and relate it to ...
