Given that \(f(x) = 5x^{2} - 4x + 3\), find the coordinates of the point where the gradient is 6.

  • A (4,1)
  • B (4,-2)
  • C (1,4)
  • D (1,-2)

The correct answer is C. (1,4)

\(f(x) = 5x^{2} - 4x + 3\)

\(f'(x) = 10x - 4 = 6 \implies 10x = 10; x=1\)

When x = 1, f(x) = y = \(5(1^{2}) - 4(1) + 3 = 4\)

The coordinates are (1,4)
