Task goals
- Foundation: Read x- and y-intercepts and describe basic shape features directly off given linear and quadratic graphs.
- Proficient: Determine gradient, turning point coordinates, and axis of symmetry from graphs and equations of quadratic, cubic, and exponential functions.
- Excellence: Analyse and compare combined features (asymptotes, domain/range restrictions, intercepts, turning points, symmetry) across hyperbola, circle, exponential, and cubic graphs to justify conclusions in context.
