Differentiation - Increasing and Decreasing Functions

Differentiation - Increasing and Decreasing Functions

A curve is such that \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 4x - hx^2\) where \(h\) is a constant. Given that the curve has a turning point at \((4, 5)\),

  1. show that the value of \(h\) is \(1\).
  2. find the range of values of \(x\) for which \(y\) is an increasing function.
