The Gradient Function The Gradient Function I am trying to find a formula that will work out the gradient of any line (the gradient function) I am going to start with the simplest cases, e.g. g=cē, g=c, g=c3 etc. as they are probably going to be the easiest equations to solve as they are likely to be less complex and hopefully the formulas to the more complex equations will be easier to discover by looking at the previous formulas. I am going to look at the line g=cē first. g=cē c 1 2 3 4 g 1 4 9 16 Please see graph on separate piece of paper One of the most obvious things I notice is that as the co-ordinates increase so does the gradient. Not only can you see that from the results below, but also on the graph you can that the line gets steeper and steeper. This makes sense as the higher the number c is the larger the difference between cē and...
