This lesson explores graphs of polynomial equations including how to find the maximum and minimum y-values on a polynomial function.

Students will explore the effect the coefficient of x^2 has on the graph of a quadratic function; they will also explore the effect of adding a constant to the quadratic function.

The trigonometry tutorial explores the graph of the cotangent function. The interactive tutorial explores the period, phase shift, and domain of the cotangent graph.

The mathematics tutorial explores the tangent function. The interactive tutorial investigates the period, phase shift, domain, and asymptotes of the tangent function.

By determining the dimensions necessary for building a box with the greatest volume, students will explore the world of polynomial and rational expressions. Graphing calculators can be used for this activity.

Explores derivatives and the idea of infinity using a geometric interpretation of slope.

Using modeling, the world of quadratics is explored. Learn how to solve quadratics using methods of factoring, completing the square, and the quadratic formula. Also included are methods for graphing quadratic functions.
