Two young mathematicians think about the plots of functions.
- Devyn
- Riley, do you remember when we first starting graphing functions? Like with a “T-chart?”
- Riley
- I remember everything.
- Devyn
- I used to get so excited to plot stuff! I would wonder: “What crazy curve would be drawn this time? What crazy picture will I see?”
- Riley
- Then we learned about the slope-intercept form of a line. Good-old
- Devyn
- Yeah, but lines are really boring. What about polynomials? What could you tell me about just by looking at the equation?
- Riley
- Hmmmm. I’m not sure…
