Find the stationary points of the graph x^3 + y^3 = 3xy +35

Differentiate wrt x to get 3x 2 + 3y 2 dy/dx = 3y + 3x dy/dx Rearrange to get dy/dx = (3x 2 - 3y)/(3x-3y 2 ). Set dy/dx =0 and infer y=x 2 . Substitute in for y into original equation and rearrange to get x ...

Differentiate y=ln(x)+5x^2, and give the equation of the tangent at the point x=1

First differentiate the equation, giving you, y'=(1/x)+10x. To get the gradient at this point of the curve, plug in x=1, to get a y' value of 11, and a y value of 5. From there you can plug these three numbe...

Find the stationary points of y = (x-7)(x-3)^2.

This problem requires the use of the product rule.Let u= x-7 ; by differentiation du/dx = 1. Let v = (x-3)^2 ; by differentiation using the chain rule, dv/dx = 2(x-3) Product Rule: dy/dx = u*(dv/dx) + v*(du/...
