Differentiate x^3+ x^2+2=y

This equals to dy/dx= 1/3 x2+1/3 x1This is because we divide by the power and then minus one from the powerSo it becomes x3-1/3 which can be simplified to 1/3 x2The 2 is differentiated to 0 because it is just a constant

How do I find the co-ordinates and nature of the stationary points on a curve?


A matrix M has eigenvectors (3,1,0) (2,8,2) (1,1,6) with corresponding eigenvalues 1, 6, 2 respectively. Write an invertible matrix P and diagonal matrix D such that M=PD(P^-1), hence calculate M^5.


A curve has equation y = 6ln(x) + x^2 -8x + 3. Find the exact values of the stationary points.
