Cards in this deck (10)
- 1FunctionIs something that takes an input, manipulates it and returns an output.
- 2polynomial functionfunction build of terms containing x raised to a fixed power, and constant numbers.
- 3gradientthe rate that a function is changing. (The steepness of the curve)
- 4the chain rulethe differentiation of outer function multiplied by the derivative of the inner function.
- 5continuityA function is continuous when it can be drawn without taking your pen off the paper.
- 6DerivativeThe function that you get from differentiating a function.
- 7LimitThe value that a function appears to be getting closer and closer to at a certain value of x. (when approaching that value from both above and from below)
- 8Normal linethe line that is perpendicular to the tangent line.
the gradient of the normal (m2) can be found by m1.m2=-1 - 9Parametric functionA function where x and y are given in terms of a third verable.
- 10Tangent lineThe line that touches a curve at a given point. The gradient of the tangent line is equal to the gradient of the curve of that point.
