Find the equation of the normal to the curve y=2x^3 at the point on the curve where x=2. Write in the form of ax+by=c.

For x = 2, y = 16. Calculate the gradient of the curve at y = 2, dy/dx = 6x^2, dy/dx = 24. This is also the gradient of the tangent to the curve at x = 2. It is a rule that the products of the gradients o...

Find the area enclosed between C, the curve y=6x-x^2, L, the line y=16-2x and the y axis.

First we need to find the intersection point(s) of L and C so set 6x-x²=16-2x and rearrange to get x²-8x+16=0 so (x-4)²=0.Repeated root so line is tangent to the curve at ...
