Exploring cubic functions
Quadratic graphs are very familiar, but what patterns can you explore with cubics?

Can you work out the equations of the trig graphs I used to make my pattern?
Experiment with the interactivity of "rolling" regular polygons, and explore how the different positions of the dot affects the distance it travels at each stage.
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?
