Differentiate y=3sqrroot2 using the First Principles method.

Are you missing an x somewhere, or is it intended to be a constant..?

A question from our 3U test today: Prove using calculus that the shortest diagonal of a rectangle occurs when the rectangle is a square.

For this question to make sense you also need to stipulate that the collection of rectangles you are looking at has fixed area or fixed perimeter (either will do).

As stated, there is no rectangle with shortest diagonal length as one can simply draw a smaller rectangle...

Whoops my bad. There is a fixed perimeter.

LaTeX - google it. To use it on here you put the code in [tex.] [/tex.] tags (without the full stops)
