solve x^3+2x^2+x=0

factorise x3+2x2+x=0 => x(x2+2x+1)=0 => x(x+1)(x+1)=0 => x(x+1)2=0 => This leads to x=0 and (x+1)2=0 so x=0 and x+1=0 => Giving us the answer x=0,-1

f(x) = x^3 - 13x^2 + 55x - 75 , find the gradient of the tangent at x=3


We have the curve f(x) = (x^2-5x)(x-1)+ 3x. Sketch the graph y=f(x), making sure to plot the co-ordinates where the curve meets the axes.


y=x^2, find dy/dx


Find the stationary point of y=3x^2-12x+29 and classify it as a maximum/minimum
