Chapter 5.4, Problem 30MS
Here we celebrate the power of algebra as a powerful way of finding unknown quantities by naming them, of expressing infinitely many relationships and connections clearly and succinetly, and of uncovering pattern and structure.
For all
? Look at the graphs for the previous Mindscape. Which functions have the property that you could pick any value, call it b, between 0 and 2 on the
-axis and find a value on the
-axis, call it a, so that the b is the value corresponding to a?
