Linear Functions: Slope & Y-Intercept

Linear Functions: Slope & Y-Intercept

This animation introduces linear functions of the form y = mx + b by visually demonstrating how the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) affect the graph. A line rotates as the slope changes from -2 to 2, then shifts vertically as the intercept changes from -3 to 3. A rise/run right-triangle indicator reinforces the geometric meaning of slope.

Logarithms: Inverse of Exponential

Logarithms: Inverse of Exponential

This animation establishes the relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions. It plots y = 2^x and y = log₂(x) side-by-side reflected across y = x, demonstrating inverse symmetry. A concrete numeric example (2³ = 8 → log₂(8) = 3) is shown with perpendicular guide lines, making the inverse relationship tangible.

The Quadratic Parabola

The Quadratic Parabola

This animation explores the standard form of a quadratic y = ax² + bx + c by animating each coefficient. Students see how 'a' controls width and direction, 'c' shifts the parabola vertically, and the vertex traces a path as parameters change. The formula updates in real time alongside the graph.

The Chain Rule

The Chain Rule

Visualizes the chain rule through three stacked number lines representing the input x, the intermediate value g(x), and the output f(g(x)). Animated small changes Δx propagate through the composition, making the multiplicative structure of the chain rule visually intuitive.

Derivatives: The Tangent Line

Derivatives: The Tangent Line

Builds intuition for the derivative by animating the limit definition. A secant line between two points on f(x) = x² is drawn and animated as h approaches 0, visually converging to the tangent line. The difference quotient formula transforms into the derivative formula.

Fourier Series

Fourier Series

Demonstrates how a square wave can be decomposed into and reconstructed from sine waves. Individual harmonic components animate in one by one, and the running partial sum curve updates to show convergence toward the square wave.

Taylor Series Approximation

Taylor Series Approximation

Demonstrates how the Taylor series builds increasingly accurate polynomial approximations of cos(x) around x=0 by successively adding terms. Each new term is animated in a new color, revealing how the approximation extends further from the center.
