i got the gradient abt -1.53 wt abt u?? hw much did u get it?
The gradient is equal to -1.5 Should be + or - 1... so your answer is fine. You can get the exact value of gradient by the calculator. I used it and it turned out to be -1.5

Shift the button under the ALPHA it will give you something like this d/dx (O) x=0. In the (O) write the formula of the line and in o the point where you want to find the gradient then equal... EX. the one that came in the exam was at x=1 so you it will be d/dx ({x/2}+{2/x}) x=1 the answer will be -1.5 this is the gradient. This will come in handy as you can adjust your answer on it in paper 4 but make sure you don't choose the point that will give an accurate answer as this method is consdired cheating so choose a point that will be close to your answer or he might deduct the whole mark :(
