TopicImplicit equations and differentiation
TypeShow dy/dx equals given expression
DifficultyStandard +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.
Spec1.07n Stationary points: find maxima, minima using derivatives1.07s Parametric and implicit differentiation

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 \((1, 1)\). [4]

AnswerMarks Guidance
\((x + y)^2 = 4x\)M1, A1 [4] Implicit differentiation of LHS correct expression = 4
\(\Rightarrow \quad 2(x + y)( \frac{dy}{dx}) = 4\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 1 + \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{2(x + y)} = \frac{2}{x + y}\)A1
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{x + y} - 1\) *A1 www (AG)
or \(x^2 + 2xy + y^2 = 4x\)M1dep, A1 [4] Implicit differentiation of LHS dep correct expansion correct expression = 4 (oe after re-arrangement)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 2x + 2x\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y + 2y\frac{dy}{dx} = 4\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{dy}{dx}(2x + 2y) = 4 - 2x - 2y\)A1 www (AG)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{4 - 2x - 2y}{2x + 2y} = \frac{4}{2x + 2y} - 1 = \frac{2}{x + y} - 1\) *B1 [4] (AG) oe (e.g. from \(x + y = 2\))
When \(x = 1, y = 1\), \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{1 + 1} - 1 = 0\) *

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 $(1, 1)$.
