The equation of a curve is xy^2= x^2 +1. Find dx/dy in terms of x and y, and hence find the coordinates of the stationary points on the curve.

dy/dx = (2x-y2)/(2xy)Stationary points: (1, root(2)) , (1, -root (2))

The function f has a local extreme at point (1,4). If f''(x)=3x^2+2x, then find f(0)?

A local extreme point would mean that f'(1)=0. Since integration is the inverse application of derivation, to obtain f'(x) function we integrate the f''(x) function. Bearing in mind the integration rule o...
