The Polynomial task utilizes six sliders to set the coefficients of the polynomial and then maps those entries into a table of x y pairs and a graph. Hence, in this task the "data" is the 6 coefficient scalars and the table is merely a mapping of those coefficients. Some things to note about this task follows:
- You can use the table to define the data, but if you then move a slider the table values will change as the sliders override the table entries.
- This task is really the beginning of a "graphing calculator" and many functions can be used instead of a polynomial. However, using a single equation has the advantage of controlling that equation with predefined UI (sliders) instead of a script type input so that the UI is easy.
