Linear relationshipsIn many business applications, two quantities are related linearly. This means a graph of their relationship forms a straight line. This leaflet discusses one form of the mathematical equation which describes linear relationships.
The exponential constant eThe letter e is used in many mathematical calculations to stand for a particular number known as the exponential constant. This leaflet provides information about this important constant, and the related exponential function.
The graph of a functionA very useful pictorial representation of a function is the graph. In this leaflet, we remind you of important conventions when plotting a graph.
The slope-intercept formThis leaflet explains the slope-intercept form of an equation describing a straight-line.
What is a function?A quantity whose value can change is known as a variable. Functions are used to describe the rules which define the ways in which such a change can occur. The purpose of this leaflet is to explain functions and their notation.
