f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 5. Find f'(x) and f''(x).

With differentitaion you multiply the fatcor it's raised by and minus one from the order

e.g. y = x^n so y' = nx^(n-1)

So f'(x) = 3x^2 + 6x and f''(x) = 6x + 6

give the coordinates of the stationary points of the curve y = x^4 - 4x^3 + 27 and state with reason if they are minumum, maximum, or points of inflection.


The curve y = 2x^3 - ax^2 + 8x + 2 passes through the point B where x=4. Given that B is a stationary point of the curve, find the value of the constant a.


When and how do I use integration by parts?


Show that the integral of tan(x) is ln|sec(x)| + C where C is a constant.
