Key formulae
d/dx(xⁿ) = nxⁿ⁻¹
m_normal = -1/m_tangent
Worked example
Given y = x³ − 4x + 1, find the gradient at x=2.
Step 1dy/dx = 3x² − 4
Step 23(2)² − 4 = 8
AnswerGradient = 8
Common errors
- Differentiate constants incorrectly
- Use tangent gradient for the normal
- Forget to substitute the x-coordinate
