Find the dimensions of the rectangle of largest area that has its base on the
x-axis and its other two vertices above the x-axis and lying on the parabola
y = 12 - x2
An airplane
ying horizontally at a constant height of 1000 m above a fixed
radar station. At a certain instant the angle of elevation θ at the station is
π/4
radians and decreasing at a rate of 0.1 rad/sec. What is the speed of the
aircraft at this moment.

x-axis and its other two vertices above the x-axis and lying on the parabola
y = 12-x^2
Let C denote the circle whose equation is (x − 5)^2 + y^2 = 25. Notice that the
point (8, −4) lies on the circle C. Find the equation of the line that is tangent
to C at the point (8, −4).
