find the stationary point of the curve for the equation y=x^2 + 3x + 4

dy/dx = 2x +32x + 3 = 0x= 3/2(3/2)2 + 3(3/2) + 4 = 2.25 + 4.5 + 4 = 10.75

A curve is mapped by the equation y = 3x^3 + ax^2 + bx, where a is a constant. The value of dy/dx at x = 2 is double that of dy/dx at x = 1. A turning point occurs when x = -1. Find the values of a and b.


Work out the equation of the tangent to the curve y=x^2+5x-8 at the point (2,6)
