The gradient of its normal is

Explanation

Question 5 of 10

1

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

If f(x) = X^2 + 2x + 1, the value of x, dy/dx = x+.
This means the gradient of the curve is 0 when x =

Explanation

Question 8 of 10

1

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

f(x) = tan2x
f'(x) = sec^2()

Explanation

Question 9 of 10

1

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

f(x) = 3x^2-x^3
f'(x) = 6x-3x^2
Stationary points are at values of x for which f'(x) = 0, (x = 0 or x = )
f''(x) = - x
When x=0, stationary point is a because at x=0, f''(x) is positive.
