Graphical answers with JSXGraph
Your answers are saved only in this browser.
These exercises are answered directly in the plots. After placing points, moving handles, or drawing a curve, open the exercise heading below the plot and select Check. The collapsed source panels show authors how each JSXGraph plot and its answer checker are defined.
Click every local maximum
A local maximum is a point whose function value is at least as large as the values at all sufficiently nearby points. Here, mark the visible crests: interior points where the graph stops rising and starts falling. The ends of the plotted interval do not count, even where the graph rises into the right edge. One of four sinusoidal functions is selected when the page loads. Click once at every crest; each answer appears as an orange point. Use Clear clicks to remove all selected points or Show another function to try the next variant.

Mark exactly one period
A positive number \(T\) is a period of a function \(f\) when \(f(x+T)=f(x)\) for every \(x\); one complete period runs between two corresponding points in consecutive repetitions of the graph. The graph below shows five periods. Move the two orange dots labelled L and R horizontally along the line below the graph. They control the left and right edges of the shaded frame. Your answer is accepted anywhere on the graph when the frame spans exactly one complete period. Do not draw on the curve; only move the two orange dots.

Draw a non-decreasing curve
Draw one continuous stroke from near \(x=0\) to near \(x=1\). A grey line follows your pointer, and a smooth red curve appears when you release it. The red curve is the submitted answer: it must cover almost the whole interval, never decrease, and finish above where it starts. Flat portions are allowed.

Coordinate transformations
The final activities connect parameter descriptions to geometry. In each one, a small set of algebraic parameters determines a visible object or region. Matching a target therefore requires reasoning in both representations: which parameter is wrong, and what geometric change will correcting it produce?
Transform a cuboid in 3D
An affine transformation combines a linear change of shape and orientation with a translation. In this activity the map has the form \(T(p)=sR_z(\theta)p+t\): the cuboid is scaled uniformly by \(s\), rotated about the \(z\)-axis by \(\theta\), and translated by \(t=(t_x,t_y,t_z)\). Matching the wireframes builds a geometric understanding of how those parameters affect a 3D object and how the operations compose.
Match the orange cuboid to the fixed green target. Move the five sliders for translation, uniform scale, and rotation about the \(z\)-axis. The unequal side lengths make the orientation visible. You may drag the 3D view to inspect the result; only the sliders are assessed.

Match a polar-coordinate region
Polar coordinates describe a point by its distance \(r\) from the origin and its angle \(\varphi\). A rectangle \([r_{\min},r_{\max}]\times[\varphi_{\min},\varphi_{\max}]\) in parameter space becomes an annular sector under \((r,\varphi)\mapsto(r\cos\varphi,r\sin\varphi)\). Matching the boundary makes the connection between algebraic bounds and the resulting planar region visible.
The blue target is an annular sector. Move the four sliders to match it with the orange outline. Radii are ordinary coordinates; the two angle sliders are multiples of \(\pi\) (for example, 0.5 means \(\pi/2\)). Only the slider values are assessed.

Match a cylindrical-coordinate region
Cylindrical coordinates add height \(z\) to polar coordinates. A parameter box \([r_{\min},r_{\max}]\times[\varphi_{\min},\varphi_{\max}] \times[z_{\min},z_{\max}]\) becomes a curved 3D sector under \((r,\varphi,z)\mapsto(r\cos\varphi,r\sin\varphi,z)\). Adjusting the six bounds helps distinguish the radial, angular, and vertical faces of this transformed region.
The green wireframe shows a target region under the cylindrical-coordinate map \((r,\varphi,z)\mapsto(r\cos\varphi,r\sin\varphi,z)\). Match it with the orange wireframe using six sliders. Angle values are multiples of \(\pi\). Drag the 3D view to inspect hidden edges; only the sliders are assessed.
