The curve C has equation 16*y^3 + 9*x^2*y - 54*x = 0 a)Find dy/dx in terms of x and y

16y3 + 9x2y - 54x= 0 
a) Differentiate the terms separately dy/dx(16y3 + 9x2y - 54x) = dy/dx(16y3) + dy/dx(9x2y) - dy/dx(54x) = 48y2(dy/dx) + 18xy + 9x2(dy/dx) - 54 Implicit differentiation, treating y as a function of xdy/dx = (54 - 18xy)/(48y2+ 9x2) Factor out dy/dx and then cross multiply

find the definite integral between limits 1 and 2 of (4x^3+1)/(x^4+x) with respect to x


A curve is defined by the parametric equations; x=(t-1)^3, y=3t-8/(t^2), t~=0. Find dy/dx in terms of t.


How would you derive y = function of x; for example: y = 3x^3 + x^2 + x


Find all the stationary points of the curve: y = (2/3)x^3 – (1/2)x^2 – 3x + 7/6 and determine their classifications.
