Calculate the local extrema of a function ${f(x) = e^{x/C1}(C2sin(x)-C3cos(x))}$

The graph of f(x) has to be identified.

The first derivative of f(x) has to be calculated. 

The min max points have to be identified using the graph and/or calculated using the first derivative method.  Requires solving trigonometric equation

Give the student three points lying on a quadratic, and ask them to find the roots.

Then ask them to find the equation of the quadratic, using their roots. Error in calculating the roots is carried forward.

Finally, ask them to find the midpoint of the roots (just for fun). Error is carried forward again.

A plane goes through three given non-collinear points in 3-space. Find the Cartesian equation of the plane in the form $ax+by+cz=d$.

There is a problem in that this equation can be multiplied by a constant and be correct. Perhaps d can be given as this makes a,b and c unique and the method of the question will give the correct solution.

Find the Cartesian form $ax+by+cz=d$ of the equation of the plane $\boldsymbol{r=r_0+\lambda a+\mu b}$.

The solution is not unique. The constant on right hand side could be given to ensure that the left hand side is unique.

Given a pair of 3D position vectors, find the vector equation of the line through both.  Find two such lines and their point of intersection.

Given two 3 dim vectors, find vector equation of line through one vector in the direction of another. Find two such lines and their point of intersection.

Find the stationary points of the function: $f(x,y)=a x ^ 3 + b x ^ 2 y + c y ^ 2 x + dy$ by choosing from a list of points.

Inputting the values given into the partial derivatives to see if 0 is obtained is tedious! Could ask for the factorisation of equation 1 as the solution uses this. However there is a problem in asking for the input of the stationary points - order of input and also giving that there is two stationary points.
