Example Functions

You can now model both linear and non-linear functions on Tuva! Here are a few examples of the elementary functions that the function editor supports.

Explore live examples by clicking in the graphing area, or on the link next to the function. (Note: You will need to open the function editor by clicking f(x) in the toolbar above the graphing area. For more detailed instructions on tweaking the parameter, click here.)
