Find the minimum and maximum points of the graph y = x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x +3 in the range 0<=x <= 5.

First, use the standard method of setting the derivative to be equal to 0 to find the stationary points. This yields the equation 3x^2 - 8x + 4 = 0 and so the stationary points are at x = 2/3 and 2 respectiv...

A curve has equation x = (y+5)ln(2y-7); (i) Find dx/dy in terms of y; (ii) Find the gradient of the curve where it crosses the y-axis.

(i) To find the derivative we will use the product rule. Let u = y+5 and v=ln(2y-7). Then dx/dy = du/dy v + u dv/dy = ln(2y-7) + (y+5)*2/2y-7 (used the chain rule in 2nd term - can explain this on white boar...
