Introduction In this assignment I have been given the task of; 'Investigate gradients of curves' To accomplish this I hope to use graphs of different curves to acquire my data, which I will then tabulate and use to hopefully find a common rule for this assignment. There are three main types of line graphs and they are divided by order. Order 1 lines are called linear and have the equation 'y = ax + b'. Order 2 lines are called quadratic and have the equation 'y = ax + bx + c'. Order 3 lines are called cubic and have the equation 'y = ax + bx + cx + d'. I will be concentrating on order 2 line graphs. Prediction I predict that the rule will have something to do with the numbers before and after x in the curves' equation. Method Using the quadratic lines y = x , y = 2x , y =...
