Gradioent Function Coursework My task is to investigate the relationship between the gradients of tangents on the curves of graphs, such as y=x2. To do this, I will first find the gradient of tangents on the graph y=x2 by drawing the graph. I have labelled the tangents a-g. They go from x=-3 to x=4. Below are the calculations for their gradients. (I am using the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)to calculate the gradient of the line. a= (12-6)/(-3.5--2.5) = 6/-1 = -6 b= (6-2)/(-2.5--1.5) = 4/-1 = -4 c= (2-0)/(-1.5--0.5) = 2/-1 = -2...
