Question

A circle whose equation is x2 + y2 = 9 has centre at (0,0) and radius equal to 3 . Triangle PQR is inscribed in circle; its vertices are at P (-3,0) , Q (x,y) and R (x,-y) , where Q and R are movable points located in first and fourth quadrants, respectively. All this information is represented in attached figure.
(a) For point Q, show that y = root(9 - x2)
(b) From the above, find an expression giving area of triangle PQR(A) as a function of x.
(c) Show that dA/dx = (refer to attached expression)

(d) From the above (or any alternative way), find y-coordinate of R such that A is MAXIMUM
