Graphical Methods

Full topic overview

Graphical methods (AS91257) is about recognising each family of graph from its equation, reading its key features, and transforming it. You meet parabolas, cubics, exponentials and hyperbolas, learn what the numbers in each equation do to the picture, and use graphs to model and solve real problems. The higher marks come from connecting the equation, the graph and the context, and from reasoning about transformations.
