  1. Express the area, \(A\), of triangle \(X P Q\) in terms of \(p\). The point \(P\) moves along the \(x\)-axis at a constant rate of 0.02 units per second and \(Q\) moves along the curve so that \(P Q\) remains parallel to the \(y\)-axis.
  2. Find the rate at which \(A\) is increasing when \(p = 2\).
