What is the turning point on the curve f(x) = 2x^2 - 2x + 4

df/dx = 4x - 2

turning point when differential = 0 

==>

4x = 2 hence;  x = 0.5

When x = 0.5 f(x) is equal to (substitute) 3.5

hence the turning point is at (0.5,3.5)

a typical question would be a setof parametric equations y(t) and x(t), asking you to find dy/dx and then the tangent/normal to the curve at a certain point (ie t = 2)


The cubic polynomial f(x) is defined by f(x) = 2x^3 -7x^2 +2x+3. Express f(x) in a fully factorised form.


Use the binomial series to find the expansion of 1/(2+5x)^3 in ascending powers of x up to x^3 (|x|<2/5)


Differentiate y=(3+sin(2x))/(2+cos(2x))
