Chapter 4, Problem 73(choose chapter or problem)
Consider the tangent line to the ellipse +
= 1 at a point (π, π) in the first quadrant.
(a) Show that the tangent line has π₯-intercept π2/πΒ and π¦-intercept π2/π.
(b) Show that the portion of the tangent line cut off by the coordinate axes has minimum length π + π.
(c) Show that the triangle formed by the tangent line and the coordinate axes has minimum area ππ.
