combine graphs and equations
Introduction
Exercises for which drop-down lists are very practical to are combination exercises. In next applet you have to combine four graphs and their equations.
How it is done?
- four functions - Create four functions, save each graph as a picture and insert the four pictures. - Add the texts A, B, C and D under the four pictures to identify the graphs. - Create four texts with the equations of the four functions, sorted differently than the graphs.
- four lists
- Create list1, list2, list3 and list4 as
{"", "A", "B", "C", "D"}- Select in the Basic tab of the Properties the optionDraw as drop-down liststo show them. - four answers: Create
-
ans1 = SelectedIndex(list1)and likewise ans2, ans3 and ans4 - Control: Define the dynamic colors if the drop-down list according to the right combinations
- The color should turn Red if the selection is not blank and not equal to the right function.
- The color should turn Green if the selection fits the function.
Since the equation f1 fits to D (= the fith option of the list) we get for the first list:
Red: If((ans1 ≠ 1) ∧ (ans1 ≠ 5), 1, 0) Green: If(ans1 ≟ 5, 0.7, 0) Blue: 0 - Button: Create a button to reset all lists to their initial position (= blank) with the script
SetValue[list1,1] SetValue[list2,1] SetValue[list3,1] SetValue[list4,1]
