Question

Find the area A of the largest rectangle that can be inscribed under the curve of the equation below in the first and second quadrants.
y = e^−x^2

Answer 1

I figured you would just take the derivative, but I'm not sure where to go from there.... The derivative would be -2xe^-x^2?

Answer 2

so it's just 2x not negative? hmm...

Answer 3

:O?

Answer 4

oops accidentally closed the quesiton crap....

Answer 5

A is the expression for the rectangle inscribed under the given function...
to get the maximum area of A, you'll need to differentiate it and find the critical number(s).
