Specification 4.3, 4.4 · Paper 1, Paper 2
An expression, written or , that gives the gradient of a curve at each value of where it is defined.
Term-by-term differentiation works for sums and differences, not by differentiating two brackets separately and multiplying their derivatives.
Use the original curve equation to find the point's y-coordinate; use the derivative to find the tangent gradient.
