1. On the formula bar type the letter "a" and press enter. Then repeat the action for letters "p" and "q".[br][br]2. In the formula bar enter "f(x) = ...." and enter a function of your choice (eg. f(x)=a(x-p)^3+q[br][br]3. Notice that the function has substituted the parameter a,p,q by the values assigned in the sliders.[br][br]4. Now move each of the sliders and notice how each parameter affects the graph of your function.
Briefly describe how the value each value affects the graph of the function.
Change the equation of your function to" F(x) = a(x-p)^2+q[br][br]1. Using the Input Box Tool create and input box Name "stretch" and assign it to the variable "a".[br][br]2. Change the value of your input box to check what happens to the function.[br][br]3. Repeat for a few move values in the input box.[br][br]4. As an extension, create input boxes for the other parameters.
