Examiner Notes

Students often misunderstand the relationship between parameter and gradient

Common Errors to Avoid

Parametric - Conceptual Misunderstanding
medium frequency

Thinking t=10 means dy/dx=10; not understanding relationship between parameter and gradient

Prevention tip: Remember: dy/dx = (dy/dt)/(dx/dt), not just substitution
