Gradient Function Mr. Bailey Adnan Sarayqum CA9 Plan I am aiming to find the relationship between the X values and the slopes/gradients from given points on a curve. The first graph I will use is for the equation Y=X2. I will choose a fixed point e.g. (2, 4), (4, 16). I can choose the values of X which can be negative numbers or positive numbers. I will find gradient from different points on the curve using my fixed points. I will choose a higher value and a lower value than my fixed point and move towards my fixed point. I will see how the gradient (change in y/change in x) changes as I move closer to my fixed point. I will see the relationship between my fixed point and the gradient and try to look for a formula. I will also use other equations, for example, Y=3X2, Y=X2 - 4 and Y=X3. Then I will...
