Solve e^(2x) = 5e^(x) - 6, giving your answers in exact form

Solve e2x = 5ex - 6e2x - 5ex + 6 = 0(ex)2 - 5ex + 6 = 0 (Let k = ex)k2 - 5k + 6 = 0(k-3)(k-2) = 0k = 3 k = 2ex = 3 ex = 2x = ln(3) x = ln(3)

give the coordinates of the stationary points of the curve y = x^4 - 4x^3 + 27 and state with reason if they are minumum, maximum, or points of inflection.


Using the result: ∫(2xsin(x)cos(x))dx = -1⁄2[xcos(2x)-1⁄2sin(2x)] calculate ∫sin²(x) dx using integration by parts


(Core 2) Show that the region bounded by the curve y = 7x+ 6 - (1/x^2), the x axis and the lines x = 1 and x = 2 equals 16


y = 1/x^2, differentiate y (taken from AQA 2018 past paper)
