The question as text
8. In this question you must show all stages of your working. Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable. y C M l R O x Figure 2 Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve C with equation y = 4 3 x3 − 11x2 + kx where k is a constant The point M is the maximum turning point of C and is shown in Figure 2. Given that the x coordinate of M is 2
