Graphs in practical situations past paper questions

O Level Mathematics 4024 · Algebra and graphs. 1 Use and interpret graphs in practical situations including travel graphs and conversion graphs. 2 Draw graphs from given data. 3 Apply the idea of rate of change to simple kinematics involving distance–time and speed–time graphs, acceleration and deceleration. 4 Calculate distance travelled as area under a speed–time graph. Includes estimation and interpretation of the gradient of a tangent at a point. Areas will involve linear sections only.
