In a figure, the graph of y=1/x^2.
line l is tangent to graph at point P, with coordinates (w, 1/w^2), where w>0. Point Q has coordinates (w, 0). Line l crosses xaxis at point R with coordinates (k,0) . ((line l intersects the x axis and forms triangle PQR.))
a. find value of k when w=3.
b. for all w>0, find k in terms of w.
c. suppose that w is increasint at constant rate of 7 unites per second. when the cordinate w=5, what is the rate of change of k with respect to time?
d. suppose that w is still increasing at the constant of 7 units per second. when w=5, what is the rate of change of the area of the triangle PQR with respect to time? determine the area is increasing or decreasing at this instant.
im confused...i dnt kno where to start!!!!
PLEASE HELP!!! THANKS!
