Standard +0.3 This is a straightforward implicit differentiation question with clear steps: apply chain rule to $(x+y)^2$, rearrange for $rac{dy}{dx}$, then substitute the given point. The algebra is routine and the stationary point verification is direct substitution. Slightly easier than average as it's guided ('show that') rather than requiring independent problem-solving.
A curve is defined by the equation \((x + y)^2 = 4x\). The point \((1, 1)\) lies on this curve.
By differentiating implicitly, show that \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{x + y} - 1\).
Hence verify that the curve has a stationary point at \((1, 1)\).

A curve is defined by the equation $(x + y)^2 = 4x$. The point $(1, 1)$ lies on this curve.
By differentiating implicitly, show that $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{x + y} - 1$.
Hence verify that the curve has a stationary point at $(1, 1)$.
