Stationary points

In this tutorial I show you how to find stationary points to a curve defined implicitly and I discuss how to find the nature of the stationary points by considering the second differential. Both methods involve using implicit differentiation and the product rule.

Example:

  1. \text{Find the stationary points on the curve} \\ x^2 - 4xy = y^2 - 20
