dx
dy dv du
Use the product rule dx =u dx +v dx to give
dy
dx = ( x 2 ) 2 2 + 2 ( x 2 ) ( 2x + 3 )

dy
When the gradient is zero, dx =0

Question:
f ( x ) e 2x sin 2x, 0 x
Use calculus to find the coordinates of the turning points on the graph of

y=f(x) .
Solution:
( x ) = e 2x sin 2x
(a) f
f ( x ) = e 2x ( 2 cos 2x ) + sin 2x ( 2e 2x )
When f ( x ) = 0, 2e 2x ( cos 2x + sin 2x ) = 0
sin 2x = cos 2x
Divide both sides by cos 2x:
tan 2x = 1

2x = 4 or 4

So the x-coordinate of the stationary point P is 3 .
At the point Q, x = 1. y = f ( 1 ) = 1

The gradient of the curve at point Q is f ( 1 ) = 3 1 = 2 .

Exercise K, Question 14
Question:
Solution:
Let f ( x ) = e 2x cos x
Then f ( x ) = e 2x ( sin x ) + cos x ( 2e 2x )
(b)When x = 0, y = f ( 0 ) = e0 cos 0 = 1
The gradient of the curve at (0, 1) is f ( 0 ) .
f ( 0 ) = 0 + 2 = 2
This is the gradient of the tangent at (0, 1) also.
So the equation of the tangent at (0, 1) is
y1=2(x0)
y = 2x + 1
