Show values that satisfy an inequality on a set of axes by drawing the line of the corresponding equation and shading the area specified in a question. Include a dashed line for inequalities where the ...

Fifty years ago, Paul Erdős and two other mathematicians came up with a graph theory problem that they thought they might solve on the spot. A team of mathematicians has finally settled it. In the ...

It is also possible to have a conversion graph to switch between units that are not directly proportional. For example, temperature can be measured in degrees Centigrade (°C) and degrees Fahrenheit ...
