Differentiate x^(1/2)ln(3x) with respect to x.

First we notice that this is a product of two functions of x, so we are going to use the product rule. Recall (uv)'(x)=u'(x)v(x)+v'(x)u(x). Let u(x)=x^(1/2) and v(x)=ln(3x). We need to find u'(x) and v'(x...

Identify the stationary points of f(x)=3x^3+2x^2+4 (by finding the first and second derivative) and determine their nature.

f'(x)=9x2​+4x, and f''(x)=18x+4 (derivatives) 

f'(x)=0 at x=0 or x=-4/9

when x=0 f''(x)>0 therefore a minimum value, when x=-4/9 f''(x)<0 and thus a maximum value.
