A ball is dropped from rest at a height of 2 metres. Assuming acceleration due to gravity (g) is 10m/s^2 calculate the velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor.

Using the equation V² = U² + 2as, where V = final velocity, U = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = displacement, we can substitute in the values given in the question t...

Find the stationary points on the curve: y = x^3 + 3x^2 +2x+5

Firstly differentiate the function:f(x) = x³ + 3x² + 2x + 5 (function)f'(x) = 3x² + 6x + 2 (gradient function)
Stationary points are points where the graph ...
