Show that 1+cot^2(x)=cosec^2(x)

Need to remember that:sin2(x)+cos2(x)=1 (eq.1)Divide the whole eq.1 by sin2(x)to get:sin2(x)/sin2x+cos2(x)/sin2(x)=1 /sin2x Which is the same as:1+cot2x=cosec2x

A curve has equation -2x^3 - x^2 + 20x . The curve has a stationary point at the point M where x = −2. Find the x-coordinate of the other stationary point of the curve.


When you are working out dy/dx = 0, why do you do this and what does it mean?
