First you should look at the equation and try and get a sense of the general shape of the graph. The highest power in here is a 3, so this is a cubic graph. The coefficient (number in front of the x^3) is...

First to find the stationary points, you have to differentiate the equation of the curve y, to give you (dy/dx) = 10 - 4x - 6x^2After differentiating the equations, the points at which the curve is statio...

Integrating xⁿ gives you xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1).Integral of 2x⁵ is 2x⁶/6 = x⁶/3. The integral of 7x³ is 7x⁴/4.-(3/x²) can be rew...

When differentiating with respect to x, we multiply the coefficient of the 'x' by the power of the 'x', and subtract one from the power of 'x'. For example:y = 5x^5dy/dx = (55)x^(5-1) = 25x^4If the po...
