Interactive GeoGebra Applets

1. This applet allows the user to enter a function, $f$, and $x$-values for which the coordinates, $(x,f(x))$ of points on the graph of $f$ are then recorded in a table. Click here to go to the GeoGebra applet posted on GeoGebraTube, or work with the embedded file that follows.

2. This applet allows the user to enter a function and then record the function values in a table by dragging a given point along the graph. Click here to go to the GeoGebra applet, or work with the embedded file that follows.

3. The next two applets involve the use of rigid motions and dilations to determine whether two given conics are congruent and/or similar.

Are the graphs of the conics given in the following applets congruent? If so, carefully and precisely describe a sequence of rigid motions which maps one onto the other so the two coincide.
Are the graphs similar? If so, carefully and precisely describe a sequence of rigid motions and dilations which maps one onto the other so the two coincide.
