Maths H2H Series 5 (Question)

The document contains 3 multi-part questions about calculus concepts: 1. Find the derivative of a curve given by an equation and use it to find constants a and b if the gradient is given. 2. Find the first and second derivatives of a curve given by parametric equations. 3. Use the first derivative test to find the local extremum points of a function given by an equation.
