guys in finding dx/dy of y= 12/3-2x
I got an answer of 24/4x^2-12x+9
and the marking scheme shows -12(3-2x)^-2*-2
both give the same answer but will my answer be counted?

You have expanded your answer while the ms hasn't
Yes you're answer will be counted but its better to leave your answer simplified

Why is the ans -√x+2 and not the positive root?
View attachment 52990
Which year?
It's 9280 Math Specimen Paper 1 - 2013.
First the Graphs of h(x) and inverse:

Since x is always negative in h(x)
so inverse value must always be negative so negative sign was used.
