They will then move the time slider to see...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/make-the-basket
Inverse Trig Functions
This activity works backwards by giving students the inverse functions and having them discover how they relate to the original functions. By tracing along the inverse function, data is collected and then plotted on a statplot. The variables are then switched on the statplot. The new plot and ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inverse-trig-functions
