y = af( bx ) APPLET

CONCEPT BY ROD RYSEN

HOW TO USE THIS APPLET

The sliders change the parameters c and d in the function y = af( bx ).

Drag a slider to change the value of a parameter.
The left and right arrow keys can be used to change the selected parameter [light blue].
The up and down arrow keys can be used to increase or decrease the selected parameter. (Use this feature for fine adjustments.)
If the arrow keys don't respond, click the cursor in the applet frame then try again.
Drag a parameter scale to "move" it. (ie. Change the range but maintain the scale "length".)
Drag towards or away from a parameter thumb to "re-scale" the scale.
Select the corresponding parameter button to enter a value for a parameter.

Drag the unfilled blue location to move the reference location along the graph of the basic function.
Drag the unfilled red location to move the transformed location along the graph of the transformed function.
Click and drag any location in the graph area (not on the lines previously described) to see the coordinates of the cursor as well as the coordinates of locations along the graph.
THE SHIFT KEY : Click and drag in the graph area to move the entire coordinate system.
THE CONTROL KEY : Click and drag in the graph area towards or away from the origin to change the scales on both axes.
THE CONTROL-SHIFT KEY : Click and drag in the graph area towards or away from the :
- x-axis to change the y-axis scale.
- y-axis to change the x-axis scale.

Use the "SET FUNCTION" button to select a different basic function and restore the applet to the initial state.
