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

A stationary point on a curve is when the differential of the equation of the curve = 0. In other words when dy/dx = 0Take the equation in the question: y = 20x - x² - 2x³A simple ru...
