y = x3
Equation of tangent y – t3 = 3t2 (x – t)
Let again meet the curve at
=> t1 = -2t
Required ordinate =

f (x) = x? /20 - x? /12 + 5
f' (x) = x? /4 - x³/3 = x³ (x/4 - 1/3)
Local maxima at 0, Local minima at 4/3
f' (x) = x³ - x² = x² (x-1)
x = 1 point of inflection

y = (3/2)sin (2θ)
x = e^θ sinθ
dy/dθ = 3cos (2θ)
dx/dθ = e^θ (cosθ + sinθ)
dy/dx = (3cos (2θ) / (e^θ (cosθ + sinθ) = (3 (cosθ - sinθ) / e^θ

f (x) = (4a - 3) (x + ln5) + 2 (a - 7)cot (x/2)sin² (x/2)
= (4a - 3) (x + ln5) + (a - 7)sin (x)
f' (x) = (4a - 3) + (a - 7)cos (x)
For critical points f' (x) = 0
cos (x) = - (4a - 3) / (a - 7) = (3 - 4a) / (a - 7)
⇒ -1 ≤ (3 - 4a) / (a - 7) ≤ 1
Solving this inequality leads to:
⇒ a ∈ [4/3, 2]
