Use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx of a curve with equation x^3 + yx^2 = y^2 + 1.

Begin by differentiating each term w.r.t x: d/dx(x^3) + d/dx(yx^2) = d/dx(y^2) + d/dx(1). the terms x^3 and 1 are simple enough to start of with: d/dx(x^3) = 3x^2 and d/dx(1) = 0. Next use the chain rule for...

Sketch the line y=x^2-4x+3. Be sure to clearly show all the points where the line crosses the coordinate axis and the stationary points

From the equation we can see the the line in a positive quadratic graph. In order to find the points where the line crosses the x axis we must let y=0 and solve for x. We can then use either inspection, comp...
