Progression
(20minutes)

Determine the gradient of a normal at

a point on a curve and equation.
Example:
Determine the gradient of the normal
at (2, 16) on the curve and equation.

1) Teacher explains
about the concept and
how to determine the
gradient of a normal at a
point on a curve and
equation.

Solution:
2) The explanation
continues with the
example and gives some
questions to test the
students.

At x =2,

1) Students pay attention

and try to understand the
gradient of a normal at a
point on a curve and
equation.
2) Students listen to
teachers explanation
and steps and give their
attention.
3) Students response to
the question.

Hence the gradient of the

tangent at (2,16) is 40.
Gradient of normal -1/40.

Equation,

Given,
Q1:

Find the equation of the normal
