You are given the equation of the line y=x^3+x^2-2x. Find the stationary points of the curve and determine the maximum and minimum points and find where it crosses the x-axis and thus sketch the graph

First differentiate the equation to find the equation of the tangents in terms of x. From this set dy/dx=0 because this is the stationary points, from this use the quadratic equation to find the value of ...
