    MHB Why Does dy/dt Equal Zero at the Endpoint of the Minor Axis?

    I already know that dy/dt must be changing as well... How did I make a mistake in my implicit differentiation?

    MHB Why Does dy/dt Equal Zero at the Endpoint of the Minor Axis?

    When I find dy/dt, it comes out to =0 for me. dy/dx=(-dx/dt(x-1))/2y. Surely the rate of change of y is not zero...
