1. Find the dimensions of the rectangle with the largest area that can be inscribed in the upper semi-circle given by x^2+y^2 ≤ 16, y≥0.
2. I thought I'd use A=lw
3. This is but a guess..so take it with a grain of salt..
height=2x
base= x^2+y^2
A(x) = 2x(x^2+y^2)
= 2x^3+2xy^2
A'(x) = 6x^2+2y^2+4x(dy/dx)(y)
I'm not sure what to really do about this particular problem.
