Question 1

[Maximum number: 3]

Given that y=4x35x2y=\frac{4 x^{3}-5}{x^{2}}, show that dy dx\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x} can be written as 2(2x3+5)x3\frac{2\left(2 x^{3}+5\right)}{x^{3}}.

Question 2

[Maximum number: 9]

The point P lies on the curve y=(5 x+2)^{2/3}.
The x-coordinate of P is 5.
The normal to the curve at P intersects the line x+y=11 at the point Q.
The point R is the reflection of Q in the tangent to the curve at P.
Find the coordinates of R.

Question 3

[Maximum number: 6]

Show that the curve y=xln(x2+2x)y=x-\ln \left(x^{2}+2 x\right) has exactly one stationary point.
Find the x-coordinate of this point.
