Given that y=((3x+1)^2)*cos(3x), find dy/dx.

As why is in the for y=uv where u and v are funtions of x, dy/dx=u'v+v'u (where ' implies the derivative) u=(3x+1)2, v=cos(3x) therefore using the chain rule u'=23(3x+1)=18x+6 and v'=-3sin(3x). Using this, dy/dy=(18x+6)*cos(3x)-3(3x+1)2*sin(3x)

How do you find stationary points of an equation, eg. y=x^2+3x+2


A curve has parametric equations: x = 3t +8, y = t^3 - 5t^2 + 7t. Find the co-ordinates of the stationary points.


A curve is described by f(x) = x^2 + 2x. A second curve is described by g(x) = x^2 -5x + 7. Find the point (s) where both curves intersect.
