Question

I'm completely lost and desperate please help!!
i have no idea what i need to do here !!! will medal and fan!!!

Answer 1

let f(x) = 6 - x^2. for 0 < w < 6^(1/2) let A(w) be the area of the triangle formed by the coordinate axes and the line tangent to the graph of f at the point (w, 6 - w^2)

(a) for what value of w is A(w) a minimum?

Answer 2

triangle formed by the x and y axis, and the hypotenuse that is tangent to the parabola, from 0 to root 6

Answer 3

do you see that is what you are looking for, that triangle with the minimum area

Answer 4

the tangent line at any point on the parabola has a slope from the derivative

f ' (x) = -2x

Answer 5

alright i got that just not sure how to find A(w)

Answer 6
