Non linear simultaneous equations
ward309ward309

Non linear simultaneous equations

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that aids modeling of solving linear/non-linear simultaneous equations. Use the sliders to select the example type from… linear/quadratic linear/circle quadratic/quadratic circle/quadratic …and generate an example using the black button. All examples have rational roots so the quadratic formula will not be needed. Click the substitute button to reveal the first line of modeling/working and then click each line of working to reveal the next.
