A curve has equation y=2x^3. Find dy/dx.

We differentiate here to find the gradient, dy/dx, i.e. the differenitial of y in terms of x. As the right handside is purely dependant on x, this is simple. We can just multiply through by the power, i.e...

How do I find the stationary points of a curve?

For a curve where y = f(x) the gradient of the curve is the derivative of this equation dy/dx. Stationary points of a curve occur when the gradient of the curve is zero. Hence find the expression for dy/d...

Solve 2x-5=3x+4

2x-5=3x+4 Firstly, you move the +4 to the other side (-5-4=-9). The equation should now look like: 2x-9=3x. You then move the 2x to the other side (3x-2x=x) so your answer would be x=-9
