$ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x_1,\ x_2-solutions\\\\x_1+x_2=\dfrac{-b}{a}\\--------------------------\\\\4x^2-7x-2=0\\\\a=4,\ b=-7,\ c=-2\\\\p,\ q-solutions\\\\p+q=\dfrac{-(-7)}{4}=\dfrac{7}{4}$

The curve with equation y=e^2x/4+3e^x has one stationary point.find the exact value of the coordinates of this point

Softa [21]

$y=\dfrac{e^{2x}}{4+3e^x}$
$\implies y'=\dfrac{2e^{2x}(4+3e^x)-3e^xe^{2x}}{(4+3e^x)^2}$
$\implies y'=\dfrac{8e^{2x}+3e^{3x}}{(4+3e^x)^2}$

Stationary points occur where the derivative is zero. The denominator is positive for all $x$ , so we only need to worry about the numerator.

$8e^{2x}+3e^{3x}=e^{2x}(8+3e^x)=0$

$e^{2x}>0$ for all $x$ , so we can divide through:

$8+3e^x=0\implies e^x=-\dfrac83$

But $e^x>0$ for all $x\in\mathbb R$ , so this function has no stationary points...

I suspect there may be a typo in the question.
