y = (x+4)(6x-7). By differentiating, find the x coordinate of the maximum of this equation.

y=(x+4)(6x-7)y=6x²+17x-28dy\dx = 12x + 17To find the x coordinate of the stationary points of y, let dy\dx=012x+17=0x=-17\12

Using differentiation, show that f(x) = 2x^3 - 12x^2 + 25x - 11 is an increasing function.

How do you use derivatives to categorise stationary points?

Show that 2cos^2(x) = 2 - 2sin^2(x) and hence solve 2cos^2(x) + 3sin(x) = 3 for 0<x<180

Show that (n^2) + (n+1)^2 + (n+2)^2 = 3n^2 + 6n + 5, Hence show that the sum of 3 consecutive square numbers is always 2 away from a multiple of 3.
