Playing with c x (1 – x)

J. Dale Burnett

I have had fun playing with the function c x (1 – x). The activities have at least a three-fold nature: one is to explore some characteristics of this function; another is to demonstrate various computer software packages useful for facilitating such explorations; and finally there are the educational issues involving what occurs and does not occur in school classrooms.
