Question in PHYS1010
An applied example of the use of two points on a graph to develop a straight line function, then use the t estimate and predict. MCQ's are also used to develop student understanding of the uses of gradient and intercepts as well as the limitations of prediction.

Question in MATH1154
Given a graph of some function $f(x)$ (a cubic), the student is asked to write the coordinates of the maximum and minimum points. The student then finds the maximum and minimum points of a second cubic function without using a graph, by finding the derivative, solving the quadratic equation that results from setting the derivative equal to zero, and finally testing the value of the second derivative.
