7) C1 Differentiation Questions

The document contains multiple differentiation questions from past exams between 2006-2011. The key points are: 1) Questions ask to differentiate functions with respect to x, find expressions for derivatives, and evaluate derivatives at given points. Functions include polynomials, radicals, and composite functions. 2) Other questions find equations of tangents and normals to curves at given points, and relate geometric properties like lengths and perpendicularity between curves, tangents, and points. 3) The format is consistent with past exam papers, providing multiple short questions to test calculus skills like differentiation, tangent lines, and optimisation problems.
