IGCSE/GCSE Mathematics - Graphs

Graphs

Speed - Time Graphs

  • Acceleration ⟶ find positive gradient of the line, m/s²
  • Deceleration ⟶ find negative gradient, m/s²
  • Horizontal line above 0 m/s² = Constant Speed, m/s
  • Distance = Area under the line

Estimation of Area under the curve
• Concaving curve = underestimate
• Convex curve = overestimate

Equation of a Circle

  • x² + y² = r²
  • Centre = (a,b) ⟶ r² = (x - a)² + (y - b)²
  • Radius cannot be a negative value.

When it comes to IGCSE/GCSE Maths, do you remember which direction does a graph move?

Transformations of graphs, y=f(x)

Inside bracket = x axis

in vector, a = inverse the sign in the bracket.

Outside bracket = y axis


in vector, a = same as it is outside the bracket.

That's the end of the topic!
