Products of linear functions
Products of more than two linear functions

Use the Product of three linear functions tool to explore the properties of these functions.

Investigate the different shapes that the graph of a product of three linear functions can assume.
  • Describe these shapes in terms of the domains in which the function is increasing or decreasing, the maximum and minimum points, and the points of intersection with the axes.
  • Check special cases: What happens when two or more of the linear functions are identical?
  • Provide explanations for phenomena that you noted.
  • Raise conjectures about the properties of functions that are products of more than three linear functions. You can explore these functions with the Representation of functions tool.
