A stationary point occurs when the first derivative of the function = 0. The first derivative of f(x) is df(x)/dx = 3x^2 - 27Setting this to zero gives 3x^2 - 27 = 0 -> x = +/- 3
To find whether i...

the differential of a function y=2x^3 is the rate of change of that function. finding the differential is done by following the steps below:1) bring down the power of the x term and multiply it by the ter...

53 x 6 = 318320-318 = 2There are not enough coaches for the amount of people. 2 people would not be on a coach. 7 coaches are needed to ensure everyone has a seat on a coach.

We must firstly understand that the tangent at point P is linear, and we must use y = mx +c format for the equation. To calculate the equation we need to find the unknowns m and c. To find the unknown m w...
