27 CardsLesson#1
Welcome to this deck on advanced graph skills. You'll learn how to use graphs to solve equations, how to find the gradient of a curve at a specific point, and how to estimate the area under a curve. These are powerful techniques used in many areas of maths and science.
Lesson#2
Let's start with solving equations. You can find approximate solutions to an equation by looking at where two related graphs cross over, or intersect.
Quiz#3
The intersection points of the graphs y equals f of x and y equals g of x represent the solutions to what equation?
f of x equals g of x
Quiz#4
Which coordinate of an intersection point gives the solution to an equation like f of x equals g of x?
the x-coordinate
Lesson#5
For example, to solve the equation x squared equals 2x plus 1, you would draw the graph of y equals x squared, and the graph of y equals 2x plus 1. The x-values where they cross are your solutions.
Lesson#6
Sometimes, you need to rearrange an equation first to see which two graphs you need to draw. For example, to solve x cubed minus 4 equals 2x, you could rearrange it to x cubed equals 2x plus 4. Then you just need to draw the line y equals 2x plus 4 on the same axes as the graph of y equals x cubed.
