Answered by Penny Nom.
	Differentiating F(x,y) = 0		2005-01-23
		From Jacob: In calculus, we often mention to the students that if F(x,y) = 0, then we can differentiate both sides and still get an equality. The problem is that we can't perform the same operation on F(x) = 0, say x = 0, otherwise 1 = 0, which is absurd. What is the reason? Answered by Walyer Whileley and Harley Weston.

	Some calculus problems		2004-04-01
		From Weisu: I have questions about three word problems and one regular problem, all dealing with derivatives. Find all points on xy=exy where the tangent line is horizontal. The width x of a rectangle is decreasing at 3 cm/s, and its length y is increasing at 5 cm/s. At what rate is its area A changing when x=10 and y=15? A car and a truck leave the same intersection, the truck heading north at 60 mph and the car heading west at 55 mph. At what rate is the distance between the car and the truck changing when the car and the truck are 30 miles and 40 miles from the intersection, respectively? The production P of a company satisfies the equation P=x2 + 0.1xy + y2, where x and y are the inputs. At a certain period x=10 units and y=8 units. Estimate the change in y that should be made to set up a decrease of 0.5 in the input x so that the production remains the same. If you could just give me some hints on these questions, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! Answered by Penny Nom.

	Thearcius Functionius		2000-05-03
		From Kevin Palmer: With the Olympics fast approaching the networks are focusing in ona new and exciting runner from Greece. Thearcius Functionius has astounded the world with his speed. He has already established new world records in the 100 meter dash and looks to improve on those times at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Thearcius Functionius stands a full 2 meters tall and the networks plan on placing a camera on the ground at some location after the finish line(in his lane) to film the history making run. The camera is set to film him from his knees(0.5 meters up from the ground) to 0.5 meters above his head at the instant he finishes the race. This is a total distance of two meters(the distance shown by the camera's lens). Answered by Harley Weston.
