The curve with the equation: y=x^2 - 32sqrt(x) + 20 has a stationary point P. Find the coordinates of P.

A stationary point implies that the gradient at this point will be equal to 0, it is a turning point in the graph. So we need to find the value of X at which dy/dx = 0. [where dy/dx is the gradient.]So we...
