find the co-ordinates

Question

y=x(2-x) where the gradient is 2

Answer 1

y = 2x-x^2
y' = 2-2x

so, where is 2-2x = 2?

Answer 2

the gradient is the slope of the tangent to the curve. y' (x) gives the slope of the tangent for any value of x.

So, at x=0, y'(x) = 2-0 = 2, so the gradient is 2 at the point (0,2)
