STEP 2 Curve Sketching
This module introduces you to STEP questions which involve Curve Sketching. You will find it helpful to complete the "STEP 2 Calculus" module first. This STEP 2 module consists of 4 STEP questions, some topic notes and useful formulae, a "hints" sheet and a "solutions" booklet. STEP questions are challenging, so don't worry if you get stuck. These STEP 2 modules assume that you have already begun to develop your problem-solving skills and approach to STEP questions by working on the Foundation modules.
About this assignment
Curve sketching is a very useful tool, and can often be helpful when solving equations, inequalities, or trying to find maxima and minima. STEP questions may not ask you to draw a graph, but you should always consider whether this might be a useful approach.
Hints, support and self evaluation
The “Hints" file gives suggestions and some starting points on how you can tackle the questions. The "Solutions" file leads you through one possible solution, but some steps will be missing and you will still need to work through the question yourself.
