Find the stationary point of the graph of y = 2x + 5 + 27x^(-2)

y = 2x + 5 + 27x^-2To find a stationary point, find the gradient function by differentiating with respect to x:y' = 2 -54x^-3To find a stationary point, let the gradient function equal zero:2- 54x^-3= 02 = 54x^-31/27=x^-327=x³x = 3Let x = 3 in the graph function:y = 2x3 + 5 +27 x 1/9y=14Therefore, the stationary point is (3,14).

f ( x ) = 2 x ^3 − 5 x ^2 + ax + a. Given that (x + 2) is a factor of f ( x ), find the value of the constant a. (3 marker)

Core 3 Differentiation: If y = (3x^2 + 2x + 5)^10, find its derivative, dy/dx. Hint: Use the chain rule.

I'm supposed to calculate the differential of f(x)= sin(x)ln(x)(x-4)^2 using the product rule. I know what the product rule is but I can't split this into two bits that are easy to differentiate. How do I do it?

Solve x^2 + 8x +3 = 0 by completing the square.
