The curve C has the equation y=3x/(9+x^2 ) (a) Find the turning points of the curve C (b) Using the fact that (d^2 y)/(dx^2 )=(6x(x^2-27))/(x^2+9)^3 or otherwise, classify the nature of each turning point of C

(a)To find the turning points of a curve, need to solve dy/dx=0. Using the quotient rule one can differentiate y:y=f(x)/g(x) dy/dx=(f'(x)g(x)-f(x)g'(x))/(g(x))2f(x)=3x, f'(x)=3, g(x)=(9+x2...
