Consider the functions f(x) = −x^3 + 2x^2 + 3x and g(x) = −x^3 + 3x^2 − x + 3. (a) Find df/dx (x) and hence show that f(x) has turning points at when x = 2 /3 ± √ 13/ 3 . [5] (b) Find the points where f(x) and g(x) intersect. [4]

a) First differentiate f(x) using standard polynomial derivative rules which gives, df/dx=-3x^2+4x+3. The derivative function gives the gradient of f for any value of x. Turning points occur when the gradien...

Solve the following: sinx - cosx = 0 for 0≤x≤360

We know that sinx/cosx = tanx. Therefore we can write sinx - cosx = 0 as sinx = cosx . By diving both sides by cosx, we get tanx = 1. By taking tan inverse of both sides, we can see that for 0≤x≤360, we get ...
