A curve has equation y = x^2 - 7x. P is a point on the curve, and the tangent to the curve at P has gradient 1. Work out the coordinates of P.

The gradient of the tangent at P (=1) will be equal to the gradient of the curve at point P (=1). The gradient at a point on a curve is given by dy/dx (the differential). First, differentiate the equation of...

Sketch the graph of y= (x^2) -2x -3 labelling the turning points and points of intersection

The gradient of the curve equals the first derivative.dy/dx = 2x - 2At the turning point the gradient equals zero.2x -2 = 02x = 2 x= 1to find the y co-ordinate to this point substitute x = 1 into the origina...
