Once the tangent is found you can use it to find the gradient of the graph by using the following formula: \(\text{Gradient to the curve =}~\frac {y_2-y_1} {x_2-x_1}\) where \(({x_1,~y_1})\) ...

Find \(\ds \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}\) where \(\ds f(x)=\frac{3x+1}{x-2}\text{.}\) What does the result in (a) tell you about the tangent line to the graph ...

An object is moving counter-clockwise along a circle with the centre at the origin. At \(t=0\) the object is at point \(A(0,5)\) and at \(t=2\pi\) it is back to point \(A\) for the first time.

Below is the graph of a quadratic function, showing where the function is increasing and decreasing. If we draw in the tangents to the curve, you will notice that if the gradient of the tangent is ...
