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 has equation: y = x^3 - 3x^2 + 5. Show that the curve has a minimum point when x = 2.


A curve has equation y = x^2 - 7x. P is a point on the curve, and the tangent to the curve at P has gradient 1. Work out the coordinates of P.


l1 and l2 are tangents of a circle. l1 intersects the circle at (3-√3,5) with a gradient of √3, and l2 intersects the circle at (3+√2,4+√2) with a gradient of -1. Find the centre of the circle, and hence find the radius of the circle.
