Can you hit the target functions using a set of input functions and a little calculus and algebra?
What functions can you make using the function machines RECIPROCAL and PRODUCT and the operator machines DIFF and INT?
Make a functional window display which will both satisfy the manager and make sense to the shoppers
Get started with calculus by exploring the connections between the sign of a curve and the sign of its gradient.
Consider these analogies for helping to understand key concepts in calculus.
You can differentiate and integrate n times but what if n is not a whole number? This generalisation of calculus was introduced and discussed on askNRICH by some school students.
Mathmo is a revision tool for post-16 mathematics. It's great installed as a smartphone app, but it works well in pads and desktops and notebooks too. Give yourself a mathematical workout!
This problem challenges you to sketch curves with different properties.
Show without recourse to any calculating aid that 7^{1/2} + 7^{1/3} + 7^{1/4} < 7 and 4^{1/2} + 4^{1/3} + 4^{1/4} > 4 . Sketch the graph of f(x) = x^{1/2} + x^{1/3} + x^{1/4} -x
Can you find a quadratic equation which passes close to these points?
Here explore some ideas of how the definitions and methods of calculus change if you integrate or differentiate n times when n is not a whole number.
Can you sketch these difficult curves, which have uses in mathematical modelling?
Find the relationship between the locations of points of inflection, maxima and minima of functions.
Explore the properties of this different sort of differential equation.
Fractional calculus is a generalisation of ordinary calculus where you can differentiate n times when n is not a whole number.
