Maths Coursework 2001 This coursework is all about finding different gradients. The gradient of y = x² or y= x³. The first graph I will do is y = x². I have found the gradients for all of the numbers shown, I did this by drawing a triangle as close to the graph line as I could. I then find the height and the width of the triangle. Then I would divide the height by the width to find the gradient. The following is an example.... If the height of the triangle 3 = 12 And the width of triangle 3 = 3 Therefore.......12/3 = 4 The gradient of point (3,9) is 3. This table shows my results The difference between each one is obviously 2, so my formula must be.. Gradient = 2x I will now show the gradients of chords starting at the point (2,4) and finishing at various other points along the plotted line for example, 2...
