Let f(x) = 2x^3 − kx^2 + 2x − k. For what values of the real number k does the graph y = f(x) have two distinct real stationary points? (MAT 2017 q1.A)

A point a is a stationary point if and only if f'(a) = 0.
Let's compute the derivative:
f'(x) = (2x^3 − kx^2 + 2x − k)' = 6x^2 - 2kx + 2.  (-k is a constant so it cancells out)
f'(x) = 0 i...

What is the chain rule and how is it used?

The chain rule is used to find the derivative of an expression in the form h(f(x)) where you have a function in terms of a function of x for example:
h(f(x)) = 2(3x+1)^3 where f(x) = 3x+1
