Revision notes

Revise functions and graphs

Read line and quadratic graphs, distinguish power and exponential functions, and estimate a curve's gradient using a tangent.

Key ideas

  1. Coordinates, lines and gradients

    Plot ordered pairs and read a straight line’s gradient from changes in the labelled coordinates.

  2. Quadratic graphs and turning points

    Use tables and symmetry to locate a quadratic curve’s roots and extremum.

  3. Power and exponential graphs

    Use domains, tables and asymptotes to distinguish power functions from exponential growth.

  4. Estimate a curve’s gradient

    Draw a tangent at the specified point and use two separated points on that tangent.

What the syllabus asks

From the G2 Mathematics 2027 syllabus

  • Cartesian coordinates in two dimensions
  • Graph of a set of ordered pairs as a representation of a relationship between two variables
  • Linear functions (y = ax + b) and quadratic functions (y = ax² + bx + c)
  • Graphs of linear functions
  • The gradient of a linear graph as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change (positive and negative gradients)
  • Graphs of quadratic functions and their properties: ∗ positive or negative coefficient of x^2 ∗ maximum and minimum points ∗ symmetry
  • Graphs of power functions of the form y = ax^n, where n = −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, and simple sums of not more than three of these
  • Graphs of exponential functions y = ka^x, where a is a positive integer
  • Estimation of the gradient of a curve by drawing a tangent
