Choose a general form by tapping the Level

button— , and so on—until the form you want is displayed. The keys available to you to manipulate the graph vary from level to level.

Equation mode

Tap

to move to

 

 

 

equation mode. In

 

 

 

equation mode, you use

 

 

 

the cursor keys to move

 

 

 

between parameters in

 

 

 

the equation and change

 

 

 

their values, observing

 

 

 

the effect on the graph

 

 

 

displayed. Press \or =to decrease or increase the

 

value of the selected parameter. Press >or <to select

 

another parameter. PressQto change the sign. You

 

have four forms (or levels) of graph, and the keys available

 

for manipulating the equation depend on the level chosen.

Test mode

Tap

to enter test

 

 

 

mode. In Test mode you test

 

 

 

your skill at matching an

 

 

 

equation to the graph

 

 

 

shown. Test mode is like

 

 

 

equation mode in that you

 

 

 

use the cursor keys to select

 

 

 

and change the value of each parameter in the equation.

 

The goal is to try to match the graph that is shown.

 

 

The app displays the graph of a randomly chosen

 

 

quadratic function. Tap the Level button to choose

 

 

between one of four forms of quadratic equation. You can

 

also choose graphs that are relatively easy to match or

 

graphs that are harder match (by tapping

 

or

 

 

respectively).

 

 

 

Now press the cursor keys to select a parameter and set

 

its value. When you are ready, tap

to see if you

 

have correctly matched your equation to the given graph.

 

Tap

to see the correct answer and tap

to

 

exit Test mode.
