Find the turning point of y = x + 1 + 4/x2 and describe the nature of the turning point

To find the turning point of the equation, it should be recognised that we desire the point at which the gradient is 0. The gradient is given by dy/dx and hence we differentiate the equation with respect ...

Given y=2x(x^2-1)^5, show that dy/dx = g(x)(x^2-1)^4 where g(x) is a function to be determined.

y=2x(x²-1)⁵ --> y=uv, where u=2x; v=(x²-1)⁵--> thus product rule required.u'=2v'=10x(x²-1)⁴Product rule: dy/dx = uv' + v'uTherefore...

Find the finite area enclosed between the curves y=x^2-5x+6 and y=4-x^2

Starting by factorising the curve equations: the first one factorises to y = (x-3)(x-2) and the second one becomes y=(2-x)(2+x). From this, a rough sketch of the curves can be drawn and it can be seen tha...
