| Topic | Stationary points and optimisation |
| Type | Find stationary points coordinates |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward application of differentiation to find a stationary point. Students need only differentiate a simple quadratic, set the derivative to zero, and substitute back—all standard C2 procedures with no problem-solving or conceptual challenges beyond basic recall. |
