How do I solve this inequality: x^2>2x ?

Solve the equation x2=2x (solve x2-2x=0 by factorisation). Sketch the graphs y=x2 and y=2x, using standard graph shapes. Look at the sketch to see for which values of x the graph y=x2 lies above y=2x; this is your solution.

How do I find a stationary point on a curve and work out if it is a maximum or minimum point?


A curve has equation y = f(x) and passes through the point (4, 22). Given that f ′(x) = 3x^2 – 3x^(1/2) – 7, use integration to find f(x), giving each term in its simplest form.


A curve C with an equation y = sin(x)/e^(2x) , 0<x<pi has a stationary point at P. Find the coordinates ofP?


Water is flowing into a rightcircular cone at the rate r (volume of water per unit time). The cone has radius a, altitude b and the vertex or "tip" is pointing downwards. Find the rate at which the surface is rising when the depth of the water is y.
