Students learn how to use function notation to transform graphs by a translation and stretch. As learning progresses they calculate composite and inverse functions. Finally, students are challenged to solve equations through interation and calculate a rate of change along a non-linear graph using differentiation.
Before progressing on to working with functions students should have a good understanding of solving quadratic equations and trigonometrical graphs. This is the final topic in the higher GCSE course as it takes place in Year 11 Term 3.
