The modules have been tested under Microsoft's Explorer 4.0 and Netscape Communicator 4.5 for Windows 95 and NT. Versions of the browsers prior to July 1998 are not supported. Older versions of Explorer may work while versions of Netscape's Communicator will likely not. The uncompressed applets are approximately 1 megabyte in size and should present no difficulty if being used on a local network or high-speed link. The module execution should be adequate on systems having at least 133 MHZ clock speeds and sufficient memory for running browsers, word processing applications, and spreadsheets (e.g., >= 48 megs). At the time of writing, the Explorer browser is the recommended platform.
This module allows you to explore the structure of a cubic equation. Each coefficient and term is associated with a scroll bar and the contribution of each term can be visualized and experimented with.
There are three basic components to this module, the set of four scrollbars associated with the coefficients, the math window showing the equation, and the chart.
When the module is started, the coefficients are zero and the constant is zero as well. This results in a graph of Y which is zero. The middle setting of the scrollbars match this state.
The scrollbars allow you to set a coefficient to a negative or positive setting. As you manipulate the scrollbars, the math will change and the chart refreshed.
There are no keyboard entries or options in this module.
