What is the y-coordinate minimum point of y = 3x^2 + x - 4

if y=3x^2 + x -4 

then 

dy/dx = 6x + 1

setting this equal to zero gives

6x + 1 = 0

so then

x = -1/6

putting this x value back into the original equation gives

y = -49/12

Why is ꭍ2x=x^2+C?


(The question is too long so it's marked at the top of the answer space, sorry for any inconveniences)


Find dy/dx in terms of t for the curve given by the parametric equations x = tan(t) , y = sec(t) for -pi/2<t<pi/2.


Integrate (x)(e^x) with respect to x and then integrate (x)(e^x) with respect to y.
