This course will allow you to master graphing techniques and sketching, and effectively score full marks for this segment in your promotional exams or A-levels. There will be a strong focus on transformation and scaling equations, and graphs such as the negative, modulo and reciprocal graph.
By the end of this class, you will learn how to:
-Spot common graphing trends and problems
-Understand the significance of restricting domain and range in graphing
-Effectively utilize your graphic calculator to sketch complex graphs
-Confidently and correctly sketch difficult graphs such as reciprocal, modulo and y-squared graphs in under 10minutes

This course will allow you to master graphing techniques and sketching, and effectively score full marks in this segment in your promotional exams or O-levels. There will be a focus on applications of linear graphs, sketching of quadratic graph (roots of equation, intercepts, min and max points), as well as tangent and normal to the curve.
By the end of this class, the student will learn how to:
-Apply the concept of gradients to solve problems
-Identify common graphing trends, shapes and problems
-Understand the significance of coordinate geometry and linear/quadratic graphs by relating it to
a linear/quadratic equation
-Effectively find variables such as the X and Y intercepts, asymptotes, maximum and minimum
points, as well as tangent to the curve
