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 area contained under the curve y =3x^2 - x^3 between 0 and 3


How do you differentiate (3x+cos(x))(2+4sin(3x))?


The curve C has equation: (x-y)^2 = 6x +5y -4. Use Implicit differentiation to find dy/dx in terms of x and y. The point B with coordinates (4, 2) lies on C. The normal to C at B meets the x-axis at point A. Find the x-coordinate of A.


Find the tangent to the curve y = x^2 + 3x + 2 that passes through the point (-1,0), sketch the curve and the tangent.
