A walker exercises on an elliptical track given by the equation 4 x 2 + 9 y 2 = 36 , where x and y are measured in units of 100 meters. Use Newton’s Method to approximate the point on the track at which the walker is nearest to a flag pole located at the point 2 , 1 . What is the distance between the walker and the flag pole for this approximation?

A duck's flight is given by the following expression: y = x^2 + x + 4. X and y are coordinates of
its flight. When x = 2, the duck takes a hit and thereafter its flight follows the trajectory of a
tangent line. What is the coordinate when x=4.
