Math Tutorial 15.8 - Gradient of Curves

There are 4 lessons in this math tutorial covering Gradient of Curves. The tutorial starts with an introduction to Gradient of Curves and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific math lesson as required to build your math knowledge of Gradient of Curves. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.

In this Math tutorial, you will learn:

  • What is the gradient of a curve? How to calculate it?
  • Does the gradient of a curve have the same value everywhere?
  • How to find a general formula for calculating all gradients of the same type of functions?
  • How to find the gradient of quadratic functions in two ways?
  • The same for cubic functions.
  • How to find the equation of the tangent line to a curve at a given point?

Introduction

Do you remember from previous tutorials what the gradient is? How do you calculate the gradient of a line?

Suggest a way of calculating the gradient of a curve. Is the value of the gradient the same everywhere?

In this tutorial, we will deal with the concept of the gradient of a curve. The approach is similar to that used in the gradient of straight lines. However, some important differences are worth highlighting, as they are related to more advanced topics such as limits and calculus, covered in this course in later chapters. That's why this tutorial is very important, as it acts as an introduction to more challenging parts of mathematics.
