Given that y = 4x^3 – 5/(x^2) , x not equal to 0, find in their simplest form (a) dy/dx, and (b) integral of y with respect to x.

a) When differentiating y, the method with each term is to 'times by the power and minus 1'. In order to apply this, we need every term to consist of a coefficient multiplied by a power of x. To start wit...

give the coordinates of the stationary points of the curve y = x^4 - 4x^3 + 27 and state with reason if they are minumum, maximum, or points of inflection.

differentiating the equation gives dy/dx = 4x^3 - 12x^2 dy/dx = 4x^2(x - 3)

at a turning point, dy/dx = 0. Solving the equation 4x^2(x - 3) = 0 yeilds x = 0, x = 3

putting 0 and 3 back into ...
