For the curve f(x) = 2x^3 - 54x, find the stationary points and state the nature of these points

Firstly, find the values of x where f'(x) = 0

f'(x) = 6x2 - 54

6x2 - 54 = 0

6(x+3)(x-3) = 0

x = 3, y = -108 and x = -3, y =...

Find f'(x) and f''(x) when f(x) = 3x^2 +7x - 3

We know that when f(x) = x^n, f'(x) = nx^n-1       (1)

So we apply this to all components of f(x), giving 

f'(x) = 2(3x) + 7 = 6x +...

Find the area bounded by the curve x^2-2x+3 between the limits x=0 and x=1 and the horizontal axis.

In order to find the area bounded by a curve and the horizontal axis, we must integrate the curve between the specified limits.

Firstly we must integrate the curve x^2-2x+3. To integrate ...

Find where the graph of y=3x^2+7x-6 crosses the x axis

At the point where the line crosses the x axis, y=0

3x^2+7x-6=0

(3x-2)(x+3)=0

3x-2=0 or x+3=0

giving x=2/3 and x=-3

so the line cro...

Differentiate x^2 + y^2 with respect to x

use the chain rule on the y^2 term to get 2y*(dy/dx)

hence the overall solution is 2x + 2y*(dy/dx)
