    It is in fact not the solution yet^^ You have to substitute 1 variable then simplify. It will give a nice answer :)

    The above solution has a little mistake, the first sign must be outside of the (). This happened accidently when i was typing a nice formula on hostmath.com. Sry!
    y is the gradient here (shoudlve called it y' to prevent confusion). Once you understand what to do with y you can simplify it to a very nice term.
    You will need identities though.

    but he never asked for a maximum value of y and its corresponding x value. However if thats the case, there will be no maximum as x represents the horizontal line AX, meaning that its increase in value will only increase the area y and never decrease it, so a maximum does not exist @SilverMirror

    if you have did it why not post it? max min area with respect to theta makes sense, but u cannot solve it for x as x is independent to any of theta nor a

    Yup that is correct. I posted it as a PM and it was confirmed that it is correct (you can ask Net if you want to). I do not want the rewards though, so me solving both problems and not accepting LE would have been for naught^^

    Wt Hero tried to say is, the question is clearly not well written and misleading, both him and I have studied enough advanced maths for an entire lifetime and Hero is majoring in physics as well, both of us would have answered wt the question literally said, which is differentiate the equation in Q1. At no point did the post mentioned anything about maximise area and stuff, and after your interpretation it just seemed to us that Net is just trying to use fancy wordings to confuse and make the question look like more "advance" than a clear phrase of "find the max area", showing a lack of parsimonious.

    Maybe its because of the difference in education style we've had, but usually, when the question ask you to differentiate, you differentiate, not find the area. If the question ask you to find the area, then you find the area, with or without differentiate

    No, i totally agree with both of you. i actually didnt know either what he wanted so I basically took my solution from a, derived it by theta then solved it for x.

    Huh. Don't know what happened here but all I asked for was to differentiate the equation with respect to theta and then make x the subject.

    Remember, post full workings to fully simplified solution.

    Of course, the area of this hexagon is actually equal to AB x WY, regardless of what θ is, because it is "symmetrical on the AB and the WZ axis"

    Is the reward still out there if you get the right answer and explain it? (For Q2)
    EDIT Hahahahhaahaa okey deriving that is past Calc AB skills isn't it. Maybe after I finish BC this summer I'll come back to this xd.
