I doubt anyone will read this in time to save me, let alone anyone who understands calculus, but I'm fucking desperate...
Can anyone explain how to find out at what point on y = 1 - x^2 the tangent line cuts a triangle of minimum area from the first quadrant of the graph? And what the minimum area is?
I seriously need to know HOW. The answer isn't as important, just how to bloody do it.
(Also, if anyone can tell me the name of the Mozart tune this song breaks out into right in the middle, I will be your bestest friend forever, because I've known the tune forever but never what it's called.)
