Differentiation P 2

1) The document provides examples of differentiation problems from past SPM (Malaysian high school exit exam) papers. Questions involve finding equations of curves, gradient functions, tangent lines, maximum/minimum points, and rates of change. 2) Problems cover a range of concepts including differentiation rules, related rates, curve sketching, and optimization. Diagrams are provided to illustrate geometric relationships. 3) Eight problems are presented involving calculation of derivatives, gradients, tangents, curve equations, maximum/minimum points, and values of constants. Formulas and steps are not shown, only the questions and marks allocated.
