Compound
Interest Spreadsheet – this example calculates the amount
for a given principal, interest rate and time period. The yearly balance
in the account is displayed |
p. 127, #6 |
| 2.5 |
Annuity
Spreadsheet – this example calculates the amount of an annuity
for a given payment, interest rate and time period. The yearly balance
in the account is displayed |
p. 129, Part 1 |
| 2.5 |
Amortization
Table – this example calculates the life of a loan for a
given principal, payment and interest rate. The yearly balance for
the loan is displayed. |
p. 131, Part 2 |
| 2.7 |
Future
Value of an Annuity – this example calculates the future
value of an annuity for a given payment, rate and time period. The
future amount of each payment is mapped out and then totaled. |
p. 145, Part 1 |
| 2.8 |
Present
Value of an Annuity – this example calculates the present
value of an annuity for a given payment, rate and time period. The
present value of each payment is mapped out and then totaled. |
p. 156, Part 1 |
CHAPTER 3
| Section # |
Description |
Student Text pgs. |
| 3.2 |
Linear
Function Calculator – this example allows the user to define
a linear function of the form f(x) = ax + b.
When a value of x is specified the value of the function is
calculated. |
p. 231, Key Ideas |
CHAPTER 5
| Section # |
Description |
Student Text pgs. |
| 5.2 |
Angles In Standard
Position Plotter – this example allows the user to explore
angles in standard position. An angle is entered and it is draw on
a grid. |
p. 420, Example 1 |
| 5.3 |
Circular
Functions – this example allows
the user to see how the graphs of y = sin x, y
= cos x and y = tan x are related to the points
on a unit circle. As a point move around the circle, the trig ratio
in question is related to the points position and the function is
graphed. |
p. 426, Think, Do, Discuss |
CHAPTER 6
| Section # |
Description |
Student Text pgs. |
| 6.1 |
Triangle
Solver – this example allows the user to see various oblique
triangles solved using the sine and cosine laws.
The steps in the solution are show for each case. |

CHAPTER 7U
| Section # |
Description |
Student Text pgs. |
| 7.1 U |
Spirograph
– this example allows the user to explore the locus definition
similar to SpirographÄ. A small circle is rotated inside a larger
circle. The path of a point on the small circle is traced out. |
p. 16, F |
| 7.1 U |
Locus
of centers of circles inscribed in an angle – this example
allows the user to explore the locus of the centers of circles that
are inscribed in a given angle. |
p. 20, Example 4 |
| 7.1 U |
Locus
of points equidistant from 2 points – this example allows
the user to explore a simple locus definition. Two points are given,
and the locus of points that are equidistant from the 2 points is
generated. |
p. 22, #8 |
| 7.2 U |
Locus
Definition of a circle – this example allows the user to
see animated examples of how to use the locus definition to develop
the equation of a circle. |
p. 35, #4 |
