A rectangle in an ellipse 2007-11-18
David pose la question :
I need to find the max area of a rectangle inscribed in an ellipse with the equation x^2+4y^2=4.. What I have so far is f(x,y)=4xy g(x,y)=x^2+4y^2-4=0,

y=sqrtx^2-4/4 f'(x)=2x^2/sqrt-4x^2+2(sqrt-4+x^2).

What I need to know is how to finish the problem and find the actual mas area of the rectangle. David

A thanksgiving day problem 2007-11-17
svetik pose la question :
On Thanksgiving Day, a group of nutty professors dressed up as "turkeys" and participated in a local fundraising event. The event consisted of three types of races: the sprint, the relay, and the hurdles. One more “turkey” takes part in the hurdles only than the sprint only. The same number take part in the sprint and the hurdles as take part in the relay and the hurdles. Eleven of the “turkeys” taking some part in these three races do not do the relay. Five “turkeys” take part in the sprint and the relay and three enter all three races. There are four teams of four “turkeys” in the relay. And, one more “turkey” is running in both the relay and the sprint than in the hurdles only.

“Turkey” Coe turned and said to “Turkey” Kim, “How many ‘turkeys’ were taking some part in any of the three races?” The nuttiest math professor, “Turkey” Young, said “There were ________ ‘turkeys’ taking part in any of the three races.” Fill in the blank!!!

Sides and vertices 2007-11-17
derek pose la question :
What is the correct name for a 2D geometric shape that would look like one slice from a round pizza and how may sides and vertices would it have? I believe you would say it has one vertex and two sides with the curved boundary not resulting in vertices or a side. Your help is much appreciated.

lim [x + squareroot(x^2 + 3)] as x->-inf 2007-11-16
David pose la question :
Find the limit. (Hint: treat the expression as a fraction whose denominator is 1, and rationalize the numerator.)

lim [x + squareroot(x^2 + 3)] as x->-inf

i got to

lim -3/(x - squareroot(x^2 + 3)) as x->-inf

but i'm having trouble understanding why the answer is 0 plz explain thx
