Work out the coordinates for the stationary point of y = x^2 + 3x + 4
dy/dx = 2x + 3dy/dx = 0 at stationary pointTherefore 2x + 3 = 0so x = -3/2so y = (-3/2)^2 +3 (-3/2) + 4so y = 9/4 - 9/2 + 4therefore y = 7/4so the coordinates of the stationary point are (-3/2 , 7/4)

The equation of the line L1 is y = 3x – 2 The equation of the line L2 is 3y – 9x + 5 = 0 Show that these two lines are parallel.
y = (x+4)(6x-7). By differentiating, find the x coordinate of the maximum of this equation.
Solving equations with unknown in both sides
