Answer:
Numerator = 2(b^2+a^2) or equivalently 2b^2+2a^2
Denominator = (b+a)^2*(b-a), or equivalently b^3+ab^2-a^2b0-a^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
S = 2b/(b+a)^2 + 2a/(b^2-a^2) factor denominator
= 2b/(b+a)^2 + 2a/((b+a)(b-a)) factor denominators
= 1/(b+a) ( 2b/(b+a) + 2a/(b-a)) find common denominator
= 1/(b+a) ((2b*(b-a) + 2a*(b+a))/((b+a)(b-a)) expand
= 1/(b+a)(2b^2-2ab+2ab+2a^2)/((b+a)(b-a)) simplify & factor
= 2/(b+a)(b^2+a^2)/((b+a)(b-a)) simplify & rearrange
= 2(b^2+a^2)/((b+a)^2(b-a))
Numerator = 2(b^2+a^2) or equivalently 2b^2+2a^2
Denominator = (b+a)^2*(b-a), or equivalently b^3+ab^2-a^2b0-a^3
Answer:
x≥2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.
12−7x≤−2
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.
−7x+12≤−2
Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.
−7x+12−12≤−2−12
−7x≤−14
Step 3: Divide both sides by -7.
−7x/−7 ≤ −14/−7
x≥2
I assume there are some plus signs that aren't rendering for some reason, so that the plane should be

You're minimizing

subject to the constraint

. Note that

and

attain their extrema at the same values of

, so we'll be working with the squared distance to avoid working out some slightly more complicated partial derivatives later.
The Lagrangian is

Take your partial derivatives and set them equal to 0:

Adding the first three equations together yields

and plugging this into the first three equations, you find a critical point at

.
The squared distance is then

, which means the shortest distance must be
