Find the turning point of the function y=f(x)=x^2+4x+4 and state wether it is a minimum or maximum value.

In order to find turning points, we differentiate the function. Hence we get f'(x)=2x + 4. Setting f'(x)=0 we get x = -2 and inputting this into f(x) we get y = 0 therefore the turning point is (-2,0). To...

Differentiate arctan(x) with respect to x. Leave your answer in terms of x

Let y = arctan(x). Arctan(x) is difficult to differentiate but I know how to differentiate tan(x) (=sec^2(x)) so take the tan of both sides: tan(y) = x. The next step will be to differentiate both sides. ...

How do you solve a quadratic inequality eg find the values of x for which x^2 -6x +2 < -3

First we must change our inequality so that we have a zero on one side, In this case we can add three to both sides of the inequality, this gives: x^2 - 6x +5 < 0 Now let's consider the equation y = x^...
