here are the answers to your questions:

  1. To find the coordinates of the point on the curve where the gradient is 4:
  1. Find the derivative of the curve y=x2−2x+6y = x^2 - 2x + 6.

    The gradient function, $\frac{dy}{dx}$, is found by differentiating the equation with respect to $x$.
    $$
    \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 - 2x + 6)
    $$
    $$
    \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x - 2
    $$
    
  2. Set the gradient equal to 4 and solve for xx.

    $$
    2x - 2 = 4
    $$
    $$
    2x = 4 + 2
    $$
    $$
    2x = 6
    $$
    $$
    x = \frac{6}{2}
    $$
    $$
    x = 3
    $$
    
  3. Substitute the value of xx back into the original curve equation to find the corresponding yy coordinate.

    $$
    y = x^2 - 2x + 6
    $$
    $$
    y = (3)^2 - 2(3) + 6
    $$
    $$
    y = 9 - 6 + 6
    $$
    $$
    y = 9
    $$
    
  4. State the coordinates of the point.

    The coordinates of the point are $(x, y) = (3, 9)$.  
    The coordinates are $\boxed{(3, 9)}$.
    

    13. To find the number of Sh 50 notes and Sh 20 coins:

  5. Define variables.

    Let $n$ be the number of Sh 50 notes.  
    Let $c$ be the number of Sh 20 coins.
    
  6. Formulate equations based on the given conditions.

    Condition 1: She has 3 times as many Sh 20 coins as Sh 50 notes.
    $$
    c = 3n \quad (1)
    $$
    Condition 2: Altogether she has Sh 3400.  
    The total value is the sum of the value of notes and coins.
    $$
    50n + 20c = 3400 \quad (2)
    $$
    
  7. Solve the system of equations.

    Substitute equation (1) into equation (2):
    $$
    50n + 20(3n) = 3400
    $$
    $$
    50n + 60n = 3400
    $$
    $$
    110n = 3400
    $$
    $$
    n = \frac{3400}{110}
    $$
    $$
    n = \frac{340}{11}
    $$
    $$
    n = 30.909...
    $$
    There seems to be an issue with the numbers provided in the question, as the number of notes/coins must be an integer. Let's re-check the calculation.  
    If $n$ must be an integer, then 3400 must be divisible by 110. $3400/110 = 340/11$, which is not an integer.  
    Assuming there might be a typo in the total amount or the ratio, and proceeding with the given numbers to show the method. If the total amount was, for example, Sh 3300, then $n = 3300/110 = 30$.  
    Let's assume the total amount was intended to be Sh 3300 for integer results.  
    If $110n = 3300$, then $n = 30$.  
    Then $c = 3n = 3(30) = 90$.  
    Number of Sh 50 notes = 30, Number of Sh 20 coins = 90.  
    Total value = $50(30) + 20(90) = 1500 + 1800 = 3300$.
    
    **Given the exact numbers in the problem, an integer solution for the number of notes/coins is not possible. This indicates a potential error in the problem statement itself.**  
    However, if we must provide an answer based on the given numbers:
    $$
    n = \frac{3400}{110} \approx 30.91
    $$
    $$
    c = 3n = 3 \times \frac{3400}{110} = \frac{10200}{110} \approx 92.73
    $$
    Since the number of notes and coins must be whole numbers, this problem as stated does not yield an integer solution. If we assume the total amount was Sh 3300:  
    Number of Sh 50 notes: $\boxed{30}$  
    Number of Sh 20 coins: $\boxed{90}$  
    **(Note: This assumes a slight adjustment to the total amount to allow for integer counts of notes/coins.)**
    

    14. To find how many days the remaining workers would take to complete the work:

  8. Calculate the total amount of work in "worker-days".

    Initial workers = 45  
    Initial days to complete = 10
    $$
    \text{Total Work} = 45 \text{ workers} \times 10 \text{ days} = 450 \text{ worker-days}
    $$
    
  9. Calculate the amount of work done in the first 4 days.

    Workers for the first 4 days = 45  
    Days worked = 4
    $$
    \text{Work Done} = 45 \text{ workers} \times 4 \text{ days} = 180 \text{ worker-days}
    $$
    
  10. Calculate the remaining work.

    $$
    \text{Remaining Work} = \text{Total Work} - \text{Work Done}
    $$
    $$
    \text{Remaining Work} = 450 \text{ worker-days} - 180 \text{ worker-days} = 270 \text{ worker-days}
    $$
    
  11. Determine the number of remaining workers.

    Initial workers = 45  
    Workers laid off = 15
    $$
    \text{Remaining Workers} = 45 - 15 = 30 \text{ workers}
    $$
    
  12. Calculate the number of days the remaining workers will take to complete the remaining work.

    $$
    \text{Days Needed} = \frac{\text{Remaining Work}}{\text{Remaining Workers}}
    $$
    $$
    \text{Days Needed} = \frac{270 \text{ worker-days}}{30 \text{ workers}} = 9 \text{ days}
    $$
    The remaining workers would take $\boxed{9 \text{ days}}$ to complete the work.
