1.7.2 Differentiation

What is the gradient between (x1,y1)(x_1,y_1)(x1​,y1​) and (x2,y2)(x_2,y_2)(x2​,y2​)?

A

The required cubic expansion is (x+h)3=x3+3x2h+3xh2+h3\boxed{(x+h)^3=x^3+3x^2h+3xh^2+h^3}(x+h)3=x3+3x2h+3xh2+h3​.

B

y2−y1x2−x1\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}x2​−x1​y2​−y1​​

C

Its graph is a straight line with gradient 1.

D

The required quadratic expansion is (x+h)2=x2+2xh+h2\boxed{(x+h)^2=x^2+2xh+h^2}(x+h)2=x2+2xh+h2​.
