find the coordinates of the turning points of the curve y = 2x^4-4x^3+3, and determine the nature of these points

To begin, we must first use the fact that turning points of a graph occur at points where the gradient is equal to zero, in other words, points where dy/dx =0. Differentiating the equation with and settin...

The equation kx^2 + 4x + (5 – k) = 0, where k is a constant, has 2 different real solutions for x. Show that k satisfies k^2-5k+4>0.

This questions is a proof type question, which means that you need to get to a specific formula. Usually, these questions give you clues in order to prove it. In this case it tells you that the equation h...

The equation of a curve C is (x+3)(y-4)=x^2+y^2. Find dy/dx in terms of x and y

Expand to get xy+3y-4x-12=x^2+y^2Rearrange to xy+3y-4x-12-x^2-y^2
Then you have to differentiate implicitly:
use product rule on xy to get:u = x v =ydu = 1 dv = dy/dx
so xy differentiates t...

Integration by parts; ∫e^x sin(x) dx

The first step in solving this problem is to identify that it is an integral that needs to be solved by parts. When you see an integral, check if it is in the form uv, where u and v are both functions...

A particle of mass 5kg is held at rests on a slope inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction for the slope is 0.7, determine whether the particle will move when released.

Frictional force acting:FMax= uR = 0.7 x 5 x 9.81 x cos(30) FMax = 29.7NWeight acting down the slope:F = 5 x 9.81 x sin(30)F = 24.5NFric...
