Graphing as a Problem-Solving Strategy.

Cohen, Donald

Mathematics and Computer Education, v18 n1 p21-29 Win 1984

The focus is on how line graphs can be used to approximate solutions to rate problems and to suggest equations that offer exact algebraic solutions to the problem. Four problems requiring progressively greater graphing sophistication are presented plus four exercises. (MNS)
