Find the stationary points of the function $y = x^2(3+2x-3x^3)$ and investigate their nature.

Find the gradient to the tangent to the curve $x^2+2xy-2y^2+x =2$ at the point $(-4,1)$

Find the equation of the tangent and normal to the curve $y = 3x^2-9x+4$ at the point $x=2$

Find the equation of the normal line to the curve $y=4x^3-5x^2+2$ at the point $(-1,-7)$

See rule 8: Do not ask too many questions in one thread. Do not ask more than two questions in a post

What have you tried?

For example:
To calculate the stationary points: $\frac{dy}{dx}=0$.

Re: Help needed to solve some calculus problems
Are you told anything about the piece of sheet metal? I.e. What are the length and width of the piece?

Please read all the rules. Please do not attach word files (it will NOT be opened), type out the questions like everyone else.
