For an augmented reality FRIENDLY VERSION, open THIS LINK in GeoGebra 3D Calculator on your phone or tablet.
STUDENTS: Interact with this app for a few minutes. Move sliders (one at at time) around SLOWLY. Be sure to DRAG THE POINTS in the graph on the left UP and DOWN. Have fun!
In the app above, list anything and everything you notice. What DO you notice? What do you wonder?
Is it possible to make all 3 slides merge perfectly on top of each other (so they coincide)? If so, how is this possible?
How would you describe the height of the slide with respect to the curve you see below? Explain as best as you can!
