Description
In this course you will learn how to find the equation of a straight line given sufficient information, interpret and use any of the forms y = mx + c, understand the equation that represents the circle with centre (a, b) and radius r, use algebraic methods to solve problems involving lines and circles, understand the relationship between a graph and its associated algebraic equation, and use the relationship between points of intersection of graphs and solutions of equations. Concepts taught also Including calculations of distances, gradients, midpoints, points of intersection and use of the relationship between the gradients of parallel and perpendicular lines. You will learn how to use elementary geometrical properties of circles, e.g. tangent perpendicular to radius, angle in a semicircle, symmetry. You will learn to determine the set of values of k for which the line y = x + k intersects, touches or does not meet a quadratic curve.You will access concisely explained videos, with a concept upon concept approach to help you the each topic. By enrolling into this course, you get to access all the interactive videos covering all the examinable concepts in your syllabus. I have gained considerable experience teaching A Level Maths and I pour our my wealth of knowledge in this course. So I hope you will learn a lot from this course.
