You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1: determine the coordinate of the point on the graph y=3x^2-7x+2.where gradient is -1
-------------
The gradient or slope is the 1st derivative.
y=3x^2-7x+2
y' = 6x - 7 = -1
x = 1
You can solve for y.
========================
2: find the gradient of the curve.y=3x^4-2x^2+5x-2 at the point (0,2) and (1,4)
Find the 1st derivative wrt x, then sub the values for the 2 points.
