A curve has equation y = 20x −x^2 −2x^3 . The curve has a stationary point at the point M where x = −2. Find the x-coordinate of the other stationary point of the curve.

dy/dx = 20 - 2x - 6x² = -6x² - 2x + 20 which factorises to dy/dx = (10 - 6x)(2 + x). This shows that x=-2 and x=10/6=5/3 are stationary points of y = 20x −x² −2x³
