That makes sense but for the graph I don't understand how to plot it with so many variables involved. Wouldn't introducing another variable just make it more complicated?
The energy required by a fish swimming at speed v to travel a distance L>0 in a current of speed u>0 is given by
E(v) = aL((v^3)/(v-u)), v>u
where a>0 is a proportionality constant.
a) Find the speed of the fish which results in minimal energy expenditure.
b) Give a qualitative sketch of...

Hello there :) I'm having tons of trouble figuring out how to finish this problem.
A cone is to be constructed having a given slant height of l>0 . Find the radius and height which give maximal volume.
I am unsure of which variables to keep in order for it to be maximized, and how to...
