Slide

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

This function involves absolute values. To find the slope on the slide use different equations to define the function in different parts of its domain.

How Does Your Function Grow?

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Compares the size of functions f(n) for large values of n.

Area L

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

By sketching a graph of a continuous increasing function, can you prove a useful result about integrals?

Quartics

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Investigate the graphs of y = [1 + (x - t)^2][1 + (x + t^)2] as the parameter t varies.

Tangled Trig Graphs

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Can you work out the equations of the trig graphs I used to make my pattern?

Curve Match

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Which curve is which, and how would you plan a route to pass between them?

Rational Request

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Can you make a curve to match my friend's requirements?

Weekly Challenge 43: A Close Match

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Can you massage the parameters of these curves to make them match as closely as possible?

Curvy Catalogue

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Make a catalogue of curves with various properties.

Guess the Function

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

This task depends on learners sharing reasoning, listening to opinions, reflecting and pulling ideas together.

Bio Graphs

Stage: 4 Challenge Level:

What biological growth processes can you fit to these graphs?

Can you fit a cubic equation to this graph?

Folium of Descartes

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Investigate the family of graphs given by the equation x^3+y^3=3axy for different values of the constant a.

Pitchfork

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Plot the graph of x^y = y^x in the first quadrant and explain its properties.

Sine Problem

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

In this 'mesh' of sine graphs, one of the graphs is the graph of the sine function. Find the equations of the other graphs to reproduce the pattern.

Maltese Cross

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Sketch the graph of $xy(x^2 - y^2) = x^2 + y^2$ consisting of four curves and a single point at the origin. Convert to polar form. Describe the symmetries of the graph.

Cocked Hat

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Sketch the graphs for this implicitly defined family of functions.

Witch of Agnesi

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Sketch the members of the family of graphs given by y = a^3/(x^2+a^2) for a=1, 2 and 3.

Polar Flower

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

This polar equation is a quadratic. Plot the graph given by each factor to draw the flower.

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?

Whose Line Graph Is it Anyway?

Stage: 5 Challenge Level:

Which line graph, equations and physical processes go together?
