Question

how to find gradient of a curve

Answer 1

We can, of course, use this to find theequation of the line. Since the line crosses the y-axis when y = 3, theequation of this graph is y = ½x + 3 . Tofind the gradient of a curve, you must draw an accurate sketch of the curve. At the point where you need to know the gradient, draw a tangent to thecurve.

Answer 2

Hello everyone...

At a given point on a curve, the gradient of the curve is equal to the gradient of the tangent to the curve. The derivative (or gradient function) describes the gradient of a curve at any point on the curve. Similarly, it also describes the gradient of a tangent to a curve at any point on the curve.

Hope this helps you...
