Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, v43 n2 p131-159 2025
The aim of this paper is to explore the use of function graphs to model a given picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, an iconic architectural structure located in San Francisco. This illustration is sourced from the guide on drawing the Golden Gate Bridge ("How to Draw the Golden Gate Bridge", n.d.). We use the digital graphing calculator Desmos. We have used about 200 variations of linear, quadratic, circle equations and hyperbolic functions.
