have you made any progress at on it?

anonymous · Answer

(sidenote: as A>0, it would be nice to consider dA²/dx if the question didn't instruct us otherwise >_<)

anonymous · Answer

I dont understand what #1 question is asking?

anonymous · Answer

For the first part - finding dA/dx? Consider U = xy for example. If you differentiate U with respect to x, applying the product rule and noting d/dx of y = dy/dx, you get something of a similar form to what you're looking for:
dU/dx = y + x dy/dx

anonymous · Answer

Further, if you perform implicit differentiation on the second relationship given, you should be able to get a substitution for dy/dx as a function of x and y.
