Differentate sin(x^2+1) with respect to x

y = sin(x2+1) In general, the chain rule is: dy/dx = f(g(x)) = df/dg * dg/dx Applying this to y: dy/dx = d(sin(x2+1))/d(x2+1) * d(x2+1)/dx = cos(x2+1) * (2x) = 2xcos(x2+1)

The straight line with equation y=3x-7 does not cross or touch the curve with equation y=2px^2-6px+4p, where p is a constant.(a) Show that 4p^2-20p+9<0 (b) Hence find the set of possible values for p.


How do I find a stationary point on the curve?
