A Constructive Transition from Linear to Quadratic Functions.

Movshovitz-Hadar, Nitsa

School Science and Mathematics, v93 n6 p288-98 Oct 1993

Presents an approach to quadratic functions that draws upon knowledge of linear functions by looking at the product of two linear functions. Then considers the quadratic function as the sum of three monomials. Potential advantages of each approach are discussed. (Contains 17 references.) (MDH)
