f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 5. Find f''(x)

f''(x) means that we need to differentiate the function f(x) twice (f'(x) would mean we need to do it once). Differentiation means we multiply the coefficient by the power, and subtract one from the power. So: f'(x) = 3x^2 + 6x f''(x) = 6x + 6

How do I find the stationary points on the curve y = f(x) = x^3+6x^2-36x?


Write 36% as a fraction in its simplest terms.


A curve has equation y = x^3 - 48x. The point A on the curve has x coordinate -4. The point B on the curve has x coordinate - 4 + h. Show that that the gradient of the line AB is h^2 - 12h.


How can I find the equation of a line l which passes through the points (5,7) and (3, -1)
