56 A level Mathematics Edexcel Paper 1 2018 Q9 Part c)

This video explains how to find the coordinates of the point furthest north of the origin on a given curve. We demonstrate that at this maximum northern point, the tangent to the curve will be horizontal, making the gradient (dy/dx) equal to zero. Setting dy/dx to zero reveals the relationship y = x for this specific problem. To solve for the exact coordinates, you would substitute y = x into the original equation of the curve. Remember to select the positive solution, as the point is located in the positive quadrant.
