0606/12/F/M/21 — Question 10 · 9 marks

A curve has equation y=(2x2+10)32x1y = \dfrac{(2x^{2} + 10)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{x - 1} for x>1x > 1.
(a)
Show that dydx\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} can be written in the form (2x2+10)12(x1)2(Ax2+Bx+C)\dfrac{(2x^{2} + 10)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{(x - 1)^{2}}\left(Ax^{2} + Bx + C\right), where AA, BB and CC are integers.

(b)
Show that, for x>1x > 1, the curve has exactly one stationary point. Find the value of xx at this stationary point.
