Find the gradient at x=1 for the curve y=2x*e^2x

The answer to this question is in two parts. We firstly must find the derivative of the function y=f(x) with respect to x, and then substitute the value of x given in the question to find the gradient at that point.To find the derivative of the function, we use both the product and chain rule. we see that dy/dx =4xe^2x+2e^2x using these rules for differentiation.we now substitute x=1 into this to find the gradient as 6e^2 at this point.

The function f is defined for all real values of x as f(x) = c + 8x - x^2, where c is a constant. Given that the range of f is f(x) <= 19, find the value of c. Given instead that ff(2) = 8, find the possible values of c.
