4.02: Stationary point of an exponential quotient
A curve has equation \(y=\dfrac{4+\mathrm{e}^{2x}}{2+\mathrm{e}^x}\).
(a)[5]
Show that \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=0\) leads to \(\mathrm{e}^{2x}+4\mathrm{e}^x-4=0\).
See the official mark scheme below.
(b)[4]
Find the \(x\)-coordinate of the stationary point in the form \(\ln(a\sqrt b+c)\), where \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are integers.
See the official mark scheme below.
