Rate of Change

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM POINTS

GENERAL EVALUATION

1. A curve is defined by f(x) = x³ -6x²-15-1 find (i) the derivative of f(x) (ii) the gradient of the curve at the point where x= 1 (iii) the minimum and maximum points
2. The distance of a particle from a starting point is S = t³ – 15t² +63t – 40 where t = time taken in seconds, find the (i) distance of the particle from the starting point when the particle is at rest

(ii) velocity when the acceleration is zero
