Writing equations for graphs Quadratic Graphs (parabolas) Equations can be of the form: Note: a determines how the

graph is enlarged. Use a suitable point to find a

Hyperbolas Equation can be of the form:

use this when the vertical asymptote is y-axis and horizontal asymptote is x-axis. use this when you can see the two x-intercepts Exponential Graphs Equations can be of the form:

use this when one of the x-intercepts is 0

use this when the parabola does not cross the x-axis

use this when the graph goes through (0, 1) and the horizontal asymptote is the x-axis

use this when there is a bounce off the x-axis Cubic Graphs Equations can be of the form: Note: p determines how the graph is enlarged. Use a suitable point to find p use this when the graph of The horizontal asymptote is d has shifted c units sideways and d units vertically.

use this when you can see the three x-intercepts

use this when the graph of has been reflected on the x-axis. The graph goes through (0, -1) and the horizontal asymptote is the x-axis

use this when one of the x-intercepts is 0

use this when the graph of has shifted c units sideways and d units vertically. The horizontal asymptote is d

use this when there is a bounce off the x-axis. Note it can also look like if the grap[h doesnt cross the x-axis at 0

Straight Line Graphs Equation can be of the form:

Find the gradient

and then use a suitable point to find c
