y = (3x + 1)⁵(3 - x)³

The stationary points are where dy/dx = 0

Note the use of:

If u and v are functions of x:

d/dx (uv) = v du/dx + u dv/dx

d/dx uⁿ = n uⁿ⁻¹ du/dx

dy/dx = (3 - x)³ d/dx (3x + 1)⁵ + (3x + 1)⁵ d/dx (3 - x)³

= (3 - x)³ 5 (3x + 1)⁴ d/dx (3x + 1) + (3x + 1)⁵ 3 (3 - x)² d/dx (3 - x)

= 5 (3 - x)³ (3x + 1)⁴ 3 + 3 (3x + 1)⁵ (3 - x)² (-1)

= 3 (3x + 1)⁴ (3 - x)² (5 (3 - x) - (3x + 1))

= 3 (3x + 1)⁴ (3 - x)² (15 - 5x - 3x - 1)

= 3 (3x + 1)⁴ (3 - x)² (14 - 8x)

= 6 (3x + 1)⁴ (3 - x)² (7 - 4x)

→ 3x + 1 = 0 → x = -1/3

or 3 - x = 0 → x = 3

or 7 - 4x = 0 → x = 7/4

y = (3x + 1)^5*(3 - x)^3dy/dx = 5* (3x + 1)^4*3*(3 - x)^3 - 3*(3x + 1)^5*(3 - x)^2

= 3*(3x + 1)^4*(3 - x)^2*[5*(3-x) - (3x + 1)]

= 6*(3x + 1)^4*(3 - x)^2*(7 - 4x)


Then the stationary points are reached when dy/dx = 0.

So, solving dy/dx = 0 gives

x = -1/3

x = 7/4

x = 3.

What are examples of reference points?

A reference point is anything that is stationary. So, if you are on a train you know you have left the station because you moved away from the platform. Hence the platform was stationary.
