7. a) y dy dy
10 8. a) 6x − 2(x  + y) + 2y  = 0
y = e3x dx dx
y = 7x – 2x2 dy dy

y  − x  = y − 3x

The graph shows that e3 x = 7 − 2 x 2 has exactly dx y−x
two real roots. dy 6−6
At (2, 6),  =   = 0
b) f ( x ) = e − 7 + 2x dx 6−2
3x 2

Thus the tangent to the curve at the point (2, 6)

f ( 0.6 ) = −0.23...
is parallel to the x-axis.
f ( 0.7 ) = 2.14...
b) When x = 2, 3(2)2 − 2(2)y + y2 – 24 = 0
So there is a root between 0.6 and 0.7.
y2 − 4y − 12 = 0

e3 x = 7 − 2 x 2 ⇒ 3 x = ln 7 − 2 x 2

) y = 6 (for given point) and y = −2
At the point (2, −2)
x1 = 0.6
dy y − 3x −2 − 6
x 2 = 0.6125  =   =   = 2
dx y−x −2 − 2
x3 = 0.6108
Equation of the tangent is y + 2 = 2(x − 2) and
x 4 = 0.6111
so y = 2x – 6.
x 5 = 0.6110
So the root is 0.61 correct to 2 d.p.
