The Folium of Descartes
(a) Find the slope of the folium of Descartes x3 + y3 - 9 xy = 0 at the points H4, 2L and H2, 4L.
(b) At what point other than the origin does the folium have a horizontal tangent?
(c) Find the coordinates of the point A in Figure 3.23, where the folium has a vertical tangent.
Solution
(a) Implicit differentiation gives

Find the rates at which the box’s (a) volume, (b) surface area, and (c) diagonal length are changing at the instant when
x = 4, y = 3, and z = 2.

Hauling in a dinghy. A dinghy is pulled toward a dock by a rope from the bow through a ring on the dock 6 ft above

(b) At what rate is the angle Θ changing at this instant?
Solution
Let L be the length of rope out and D the distance from the bow at time t. We are given that dL  dt = -2 ft  sec.

A Moving Shadow. A man 6 ft tall walks at the rate of 5 ft/sec toward a streetlight that is 16 ft above ground. At
what rate is the tip of his shadow moving? At what rate is the length of his shadow changing when he is 10 ft from the
base of the light?

Let x and z be the distance between the man and the lightpost and the tip of the shadow and the lightpost, respectively,
as in the diagram below. We are given that dx  dt = -5.
