How do you find the stationary points of a graph?

Start by drawing an example graph which contains stationary points, use this to explain what a stationary point is. Explain how we could manipulate the graph to identify these points (explaining differentiation)Execute the method in an example for them - taking them through step by stepAsk them if they would like to explain the method back and then aid them if they need help

Find the gradient at x=1 for the curve y=2x*e^2x


A curve f(x,y) is defined by sin(3y)+3ye^(-2x)+2x^2 = 5. Find dy/dx


Chris claims that, “for any given value of x , the gradient of the curve y=2x^3 +6x^2 - 12x +3 is always greater than the gradient of the curve y=1+60x−6x^2” . Show that Chris is wrong by finding all the values of x for which his claim is not true.
