The program uses computer animation to demonstrate quadratic equations and their corresponding functions in the Cartesian coordinate system.[1]
Synopsis
[edit]Each program involves two robots, Edie and Charon, who work on an assembly line in a high-tech factory. The robots discuss their desire to learn about quadratic equations, and they are subsequently provided with lessons that further their education.[2]
