Differentiation : algebraic approach to calculate the
• The rate of Change of Y with respect to X change
• gradient of the graph at given point
• Stationary point(s) of the graph
• Equation of the tangent of the graph
• Equation of the normal of the graph
By finding/Derivation another Function called Gradient Function F'(X) ,
Steps
• Find derivative of function
• Substitute in the derivative with the given point

Graph Gradients
Graphical Approach
To find the gradient of the graph at (1,0)
• Draw a tangent at (1,0)
• Calculate the gradient of the tangent
• Gradient of graph = gradient of tangent
Algebraic Approach Calculus
To find the gradient of the graph at (1,0)
• Find gradient function
• Find
Gradient of a function is how Y
changes with X changes
- the rate of Y-change corresponding
to any change in X • Gradient function of f(x)
• 1st Derivative of f(x)
• Differentiation of y with respect to x
Graphically (tangent at a given point)
Calculus (derivative, differentiation at a given point)

(-0.5, 5.5)
(0.5 , 4.5)
The tangent at point (-0.5, 5.5) is parallel to the tangent at point (0.5 , 4.5)
The gradient of the curve at point (-0.5, 5.5) = The gradient of the curve at point (0.5 , 4.5)
F' (-0.5) = F'(0.5)
