    Turning point questions!!

    yikes this is the answer i got.. so how would i find the turning points and nature of this y'' = (x-4)^1/2.1/4 (x-3)(4-x)^-1/5 - 1/2 (x-3)(4-x)^-1/2 . 1/2(x-4)^-1/2

    Turning point questions!!

    yea i know how to use it .. its just for those questions... i wasnt getting a right answer on point (0,1) for that first question and the 2nd one was how on earth do i differentiate this (1st and 2nd) y=(x-3)(4-x)^1/2

    Turning point questions!!

    ok i have a few questions , i dont seem to be getting these right my first question is Find the turning points on the curve y=(4x^2 - 1)^4 okay so we use the chain rule yes? first derivatve y' = 4(4x^2 - 1)3 x 8x so y' = 32x(4x^2 - 1) put that to 0 to find points 32x(4x^2 - 1)^3...

    Locus Questions

    hmm thats odd it says the Maximum value is 31 when x = - 4 and how did u draw up that curve if u cant factorize it oh while im here might as well ask this to say with an equation x^2 = 8y Why is the axis of symmetry x = 0? why is it not y= 0 and how do i find axis of symmetry for...

    Started Study/Revision/Summary's

    err well what i do i basically make myself memorize notes liek a parrot and i say them to myself over and over again , i do this on the weekend as well only i go for basically the whole day lmao and i spent proportions of my time working on assessments but i do this on weekdays as well...

    Locus Questions

    Okay i have 2 more questions if anyones there consider 15-8x-x^2 in form a - (x+b)^2 Once u put that in that form its 31 - (x+4)^2 but then it says find the maximum value of 15-8x-x^2 and the value for x for which it occurs.. i dont understand this.. also the following equation 8y...

    Locus Questions

    actually i did use the distance formula For that Particular example i gave above Find the equation of the locus of a point that moves so its equidistant from the point (0,-3) and the line y = 3 i ended up gettin just 12y answer says x^2 + 12y im not sure what i did wrong after...

    Locus Questions

    Hey ppl , with locus is there an easier way to do the quadratic type problems e.g Find the equation of the locus of a point that moves so its equidistant from the point (0,-3) and the line y = 3 I know you can use the distance formula , but someone told me you can use a parabola...
