Well, what did you get for dy/dx? And what is the condition for a stationary point? :smile:
Well at a stationary point dy/dx=0 - are there any solutions to this equation with y defined as in the question?

What do you know about the derivative of the equation of the curve if it has a stationary point?

Please don't post full solutions - it's against the rules of the forum!

We try to help people out by giving them hints so that they can work towards a solution themselves :smile:

Full solutions would be much more convenient but thanks for the help anyway, I posted a new thread of a question I am really stuck on!
