Let x and y be differentiable functions of t and let s = x 2 + y

Question:

Let x and y be differentiable functions of t and let s = √x2 + y2 be the distance between the points (x, 0) and (0, y) in the xy-plane.

a. How is ds/dt related to dx/dt if y is constant?

b. How is ds/dt related to dx/dt and dy>dt if neither x nor y is constant?

c. How is dx/dt related to dy/dt if s is constant?
