find the coordinates of the single stationary point of the curve with equation y=8x^2 + 2/x

rewrite the equation in a more helpful way:y=8x2 + 2x-1 differentiate:dy/dx = 16x -2x-2set equal to 0 and solve for x16x -2x-2 = 016x -2/ x2=016x= 2/ x216x3=28x3=1x3=1/8x=1/2note: x cannot be -1/2sub x into original curve equation:y= 8(0.5)2 + 2/0.5y= 2+ 4y=6

Solve: x^2 + y^2 = 25 y - 3x = 13


The first floor of an ancient japanese tower has 150 steps. Each floor above has 5 fewer floors than the previous. So, the second floor has 145 steps, the third 140 etc. How many floors does the tower have if the final floor has 30 steps leading to it.


How would I simplify (3x^2 − 8x − 3)/(2x^2 −6x) fully?
