# C3 Applications of Differentiation

1. I am stuck on Q3,4,6,7,8,9,10,11 of the questions could anyone help? I have done Q1,2 &5.
2. What exactly is it that you are unable to do?
3. Finding the coordinates mainly (found my old account hence the different username)

Q3 - I can't see what gradient the book shows to I'll just refer to it as . Anyway, you have so you need to find by using an appropriate differentiation rule that you should know. Set and solve for to see at what x coordinates the gradient is .

Once you have your value(s) of , plug them back through to find your y coordinates.

It may be easier to differentiate if you express it in the form .
6. $\int_{1}^{x}\sum r+6!\left ( 1 \right +x )x \mapsto x^2 \leq x\sqrt{1+x^{\pi}}$

How do I solve? ^

I have tried this but only get one set of coordinates instead of two

When I differentiate using the quotient rule I get 1/(1+x)^2

That's correct. When it comes to square rooting, you should get 2 solutions because

So the gradient 1/9 is equal to 1+x^-2

-8/9=x^-2

Lmao you look like a killjoy and you sure are

Nope. So then

Oh definitely a lot of joy posting complicated maths problems on a simple A-Level thread.

Thank you so much I know how dumb I must sound, I have worked it out correctly

For question 4, when I differentiated I got 3x(x+1)^2 which is equal to the gradient 7

after this I got stuck again, there should only be one point (P)

Please state the original function, they are hard to see. Is it ??? If so, check your differential again.

I have got it to be (2,2)
