10 graphs of experimental data are given. Can you use a spreadsheet to find algebraic graphs which match them closely, and thus discover the formulae most likely to govern the underlying processes?
Can you work out which processes are represented by the graphs?
Can you make sense of the three methods to work out what fraction of the total area is shaded?
This problem challenges you to find cubic equations which satisfy different conditions.
