A curve C has equation y = 3x^4 - 8x^3 - 3. Find dy/dx and d2y/dx2. Verify C has a stationary point at x = 2. Determine the nature of this stationary point, giving a reason for the answer.

y = 3x4 - 8x3 - 3Bringing the power down on each term and subtracting one from the power (as to differentiate, nxm —> nmxm-1), we get for each derivative:dy/...

Find the x values for stationary points in the curve y=3sin(2x) for 0<x<180

Firstly we differentiate the equation y=3sin(2x) w.r.t. x.By using the chain rule, we find the dy/dx=6cos(2x)Since a stationary point in the curve is a point where the gradient is 0, we can find them by f...

find dy/dx when y=x^3 + sin2x

so this question is asking you to differentiate x3 + sin2xwe know that xn differentiates do nxn-1, so using that x3 will differentiate to 3x2we know ...

Ignoring air resistance and assuming gravity to equal 9.81. If a ball of mass 1kg is dropped from a height of 100m, calculate it's final velocity before it hits the ground.

G = 9.81u = 0s = 100v2 = u2 + 2asv2 = 2 * 100 * 9.81v = root( 2 * 100 * 9.81) = 44.29ms-1
This question can be made into a 3 part question suitable for adv...

Integrate with respect to x [x^2]

Integrate(x2)When we integrate we use the formula xn+1/n+1So therefore as in this case n=2So taking this all into account, the integral of x2 = x3/3
