A-Maths Differentiation: Finding Gradient of Curve

I'm very excited to be working on the revised copy for the GCE O-Level Additional & Elementary Mathematics Ten Years Series (2003-2012) by FBP Publisher.

The book should be available in all Popular bookstores (Singapore) in early April. There's something new on this book. To provide more value to students, this year we have included an additional book of drill questions.

I would like to share one of the questions from Differentiation: Tangent & Normal with all of you.

Skill required:

  • Quotient rule
  • Gradient of curve is dy/dx

Bonus: Strictly decreasing function means dy/dx < 0 for all values of x.

A-Maths: Differentiation Techniques 101 [video]

In this video, I use three examples to show the usage of the three differentiation techniques.

  • Chain rule
  • Product rule
  • Quotient rule

You should be able to understand when and how to use each of the rule.
