Let are length s be measured from the point (2, 0) of the circle x2 + y2 = 4, starting in the direction of increasing y. If u = x2 − y2, evaluate du/ds on this circle. Check the result by using both the directional derivative and the explicit expression for u in terms of s. At what point of the circle does u have its smallest value?
