Thanks !

I do know a little algebra from my algebra 1 class (I skipped Pre-Algebra) but all we did in algebra 1 is straight lines so I have no idea what the equations mean :P Anyway, I made a rainbow xD

scmb1 scmb1 8 months ago

Sweet. I'm sure you will learn about parabolas very soon.

How did you figure out the equation that finds the function of the graph?

scmb1 scmb1 1 year, 8 months ago

I learned how in math class last year. You can download and take a look.

when i downloaded this to copy it, it didn't work quite the same... also it was showing all the code... how do i just run program full screen like you have it here?

scmb1 scmb1 1 year, 10 months ago

And fixed! It works offline now.

scmb1 scmb1 1 year, 10 months ago

To make it full screen, click the presentation mode button on the top right corner. I will try to fix it this weekend, but currently the equation isn't showed properly because it always rounds down to 0. I will be able to fix it, I just don't have time right know.

AWESOME!! i am going to use run this on a smartboard for my algebra class. hopefully i will introduce an interest in scratch in some of my students! thank you!

scmb1 scmb1 1 year, 12 months ago

Wow! I'm honored! I hope your students like it. (By the way, Smartboards are so awesome!)

i don't get it

scmb1 scmb1 2 years, 5 months ago

Just move around the sliders and press graph. Change the colors. You don't have to pay any attention to the equation if it confuses you.

Argh so complicated! Don't understand any of it, only expirementing with the colours. My head hurts!

scmb1 scmb1 2 years, 5 months ago

Well, I'm glad you experimented. That's a good start! Sorry I made your head hurt...

DrSuper DrSuper 2 years, 5 months ago

Yay 652 and going;=>You may wish to move the coefficients so they come down and before X2, X

scmb1 scmb1 2 years, 5 months ago

I tried that, but you never know how long the decimals will go and they sometimes run into the variables! I will see what I can do.

calculus calculus 2 years, 5 months ago

Also, it is impossible to create a parabola with one x-intercept — if both are set to the same value, the graph is of a straight line.

bhz bhz 2 years, 5 months ago

y=x^2 :)

(view all replies)
scmb1 scmb1 2 years, 5 months ago

Yeah... Sorry...

calculus calculus 2 years, 5 months ago

I noticed that "min/max" is treated as minimum when it is negative and maximum when it is positive, yet a parabola could have a minimum above 0 or a maximum below 0.

TheSaint TheSaint 2 years, 5 months ago

Yes, that would make the X-intercepts become imaginary numbers, which is impossible to do on scratch. The only way to graph that on a scratch program would be if you had an equation, but I doubt that many poeple here have taken that level of math yet.

scmb1 scmb1 2 years, 5 months ago

Yes, but then it will have no x-intercepts.
