Q
what 3 things must you do when checking answers?

Q
What are the gradients of two parallel lines and two perpendicular lines?
A
Parallel: have the same gradients , different y intercept
Perpendicular: gradients are the negative reciprocal of each other

72
73
74
How would you allocate the signs
1. Look at the left hand statement, if it is true does the right hand statement also become true if so then (=>)
2. Look at the right hand statements, if it is true does the left hand statement also become true (<=)
If both then <=>
75
What is some of the mathematical language used in implications?
76
What is the converse of a therom?
The opposite of a theorem
Therom = A implies B
Converse of Theorem = Does B imply A ?
77
what are the different types of proof?
* deuction: show the logical steps- normally iincolves algebra
* counter argument : show 1 example that does not follow the conjecture
* exhaution: trying out all the possibilities

Why are some sketching tips for graphs?
Order (shape)
Direction (sign of leading coefficient )
Intersections with axis
Leading co-efficient (stretches of compressions)
91
Draw g(x) and f(x) on the same axis
92
How does the leading co efficient affect the shape of the graph?
Because the larger the value, the more faster it increases
