Calculate the gradient of the function y=x^2+6x when y=-9

-9=x^2+6x

0=x^2+6x+9

0=(x+3)(x+3)

when y=-9 x=3

dy/dx=2x+6

dy/dx=2(3)+6=12

For a curve of gradient dy/dx = (2/(x^2))-x/4, determine a) d^2y/dx^2 b) the stationary point where y=5/2 c) whether this is a maximum or minmum point and d) the equation of the curve

a) Differentiating gives d2y/dx2=-4x-3-1/4

b) Let dy/dx=0 and rearrange to find x=2

c) Inserting x=2 into d2y/dx2=-4x-3-1/4 ...
