The range of values of $$k$$ for which the function $$\,\,f\left( x \right) = \left( {{k^2} - 4} \right){x^2} + 6{x^3} + 8{x^4}$$ has a local maxima at point $$x=0$$ is

The curve $$\,\,y = {x^4}\,\,$$

The value of $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\left( {x,y} \right) \to \left( {0,0} \right)} {{{x^2} - xy} \over {\sqrt x - \sqrt y }}$$ is

A political party orders an arch for the entrance to the ground in which the annual convention is being held. The profile of the arch follows the equation $$y = 2x\,\,\, - 0.1{x^2}$$ where $$y$$ is the height of the arch in meters. The maximum possible height of the arch is
