A curve has equation: y = x^3 - 3x^2 + 5. Show that the curve has a minimum point when x = 2.

A minimum point will have a gradient of 0 (although so will a maximum point or a point of inflection). dy/dx = 3x 2 -6x. We can substitute x = 2 into this equation to give 0 (alternatively solve 3x 2 -6x = 0...

Degenerate genetic coding means that although there are 64 different codons, there are only 21 amino acids, meaning that there are multiple codons which code for one single amino acid. The advantage for this...

Given y=arctan(3e^2x). Show dy/dx= 3/(5cosh(2x) + 4sinh(2x))

As we cannot immediately differentiate inverse tan we take tan of both sides giving us tan(y)=3e 2x. We then differentiate with respect to x, however this must be done using implicit differentiation on the l...
