For y = 7x - x^3, find the two stationary points and what type of stationary points they are.

Differentiate y to get: dy/dx = 7-3x^2 , dy/dx = 0 , therefore x=(+/-)sqrt(7/3) d^2y/dx^2 = 6x , substitute x values in to y=7x-x^3 and d^2y/dx^2 to find coordinates and the type of the stationary point.

What is the area bound by the x-axis, the lines x=1 and x=3 and the curve y=3x^(2)-1/x ? Answer in exact form.


Solve dy/dx= (x√(x^2+3))/e^2y given that y=0 when x=1, giving your answer in the form y = f(x)


Differentiate y = 2e^(2x+1)
