CD = √ (10+x²)² – (10–x²)² = 2√10|x|
Area
= 1/2 * CD * AB = 1/2 * 2√10|x| (20–2x²)
=> 10 – x² = 2x
3x² = 10
x = k
3k² = 10

P' (x) = a (x-1) (x+1) = a (x²-1).
P (x) = ∫ P' (x) dx = a (x³/3 - x) + b.
Given P (-3) = 0 ⇒ a (-9+3) + b = 0 ⇒ b = 6a.
Given ∫ P (x)dx = 18. Assuming the integration is over a symmetric interval like [-c, c] and using the fact that a (x³/3-x) is an odd function, ∫ (a (x³/3 - x)dx = 0. Then ∫ b dx = 18. If the interval is [-1, 1], this would be b (1 - (-1) = 2b = 18, so b=9.
With b=9, we find a = b/6 = 9/6 = 3/2.
So, P (x) = 3/2 (x³/3 - x) + 9 = x³/2 - 3x/2 + 9.
The sum of all coefficients is 1/2 - 3/2 + 9 = -1 + 9 = 8.

Equation x²/5 + y²/4 = 1 then P (√5cosθ, 2sinθ)
(PQ)² = 5cos²θ + 4 (sinθ+2)² = cos²θ + 16sinθ + 20
= -sin²θ + 16sinθ + 21
= 85 - (sinθ - 8)²
∴ (PQ)²max = 85 - 49 = 36
? (sinθ - 8)² ∈

C? → C? - C?
f (θ) = | -sin²θ -1 |
| -cos²θ -1 |
| 12 -2 -2|
= 4 (cos²θ - sin²θ) = 4 (cos2θ), θ ∈ [π/4, π/2]
f (θ)max = M = 0
f (θ)min = m = -4

A (α, 0), B (-α, 0)
⇒ D (α, α² − 1)
Area (ABCD) = (AB) (AD)
⇒ S = (2α) (1 − α²) = 2α – 2α³
dS/dα = 2 - 6α²
= 0 ⇒ α² = 1/3
⇒ α = 1/√3
Area = 2α – 2α³ = 2/√3 - 2/ (3√3)
= 4/ (3√3)
