Differentiation — IB Maths AA HL Practice

Differentiation is the backbone of AA HL calculus. Practise differentiating, finding stationary points, tangents and the nature of turning points — step by step whenever you slip.

The idea

Differentiate a power by multiplying by the power and dropping it by one: $\dfrac{d}{dx}x^{n}=nx^{n-1}$, term by term.

💡 A constant differentiates to $0$; a term $cx$ differentiates to just $c$.

What you'll master

Differentiate & evaluate
Stationary points
Tangent line
Nature of a turning point

Sample questions

$f(x)=2x^{3}+4x^{2}+3x$. Find $f'(1)$.
A curve has $f'(x)=3(x-1)(x-4)$. Find the smaller $x$-coordinate of its stationary points.
Find the $y$-intercept of the tangent to $y=x^{2}$ at $x=3$.

Every attempt generates new numbers — the practice below never runs out.
