How would you find the Max and Min points on a graph?

Max and Mins occur where the slope of a graph equals zero. 

To find this, if we take the 1st derivative of a function and set the derivative equal to zero to solve for x. 

The values we solv...

Make y the subject of the equation: t=(y+2)/(4-y)

Multiply by 4-y   => t(4-y)=y+2 Expand the brackets  => 4t-ty=y+2 Get all the y's on the same side => 4t-2=ty+y Factor out the y  => 4t-2=(t+1)y Divide by t+1  => (4t-2)/(t+1)=y

Find the stationary pointsof the following: (y = x^3 - x^2 -16 x -17) and determine if each point is a maximum or minimum.

Notes; *Stationary (Turning) points are the points on the graph which are lowest or highest. (maximum or minima). *The gradient at a stationary point is zero. Steps:  1. Differentiate the function once to...

find the value of dy/dx at the point (1,1) of the equation e^(2x)ln(y)=x+y-2

find dy/dx, algebraically manipulate the expression to get dy/dx in terms of x and y and then subsitute in the given point.

Given that x=ln(t) and y=4t^3,a) find an expression for dy/dx, b)and the value of t when d2y/dx2 =0.48. Give your answer to 2 decimal place.

a) Firstly, differentiate x and y with respect to t. 

Giving you dx/dt = 1/t       and dy/dt = 12t2

dy/dx is found using the chain rule:

dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx = 12t3
