Abstract

In Consortium, the newsletter of the Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications, Froelich (1988) explored graphical strategies for solving the equation 2x = x10. He described his use of a function plotter as he sought a graphical solution for that equation. The NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) has proposed the increased use of function plotters and other technology to investigate and solve problems. Equations such as 2x = x10 can be used to illustrate the potential of that technology and to consider its implications for the teaching and learning of mathematics.
