A curve has equation y = x^3 - 48x. The point A on the curve has x coordinate -4. Is A a stationary point?

A stationary point indicates that the gradient at that coordinate is 0. Hence we need to find the gradient of the line, set this to 0, and then substitute our value of x. Find dy/dx. Remember the equation...

Describe and explain the change in the shape of the graph y=x^2 and y=x^2 + 2.

The graph is translated by two in the positive y-axis direction. For example, for the equation y=x², taking the x-axis values of 0,1,2 and 3, y= 0²,1², 2

Please expand (y+2)(y-3).

We will use the FOIL method. Here FOIL stands for: First, Outside, Inside, Last.
This means we start by multiplying the first terms in each bracket together to get y² .
Then we multi...
