Step-by-step explanation:
- The area of the blue square will always equal the sum of the area of the orange and red rectangles
The pythagorian theorem:
a²+b² = c²
now let a be the side of the red triangle and b the side of the orange one
so a² is the area of the red triangle and b² is the area of the orange one
Let c be the side of the blue rectangle
so c² is the area of it
then what we concluded is right
- the hypotenuse is the blue side since it is the larger one
Question:
Find the point (,) on the curve
that is closest to the point (3,0).
[To do this, first find the distance function between (,) and (3,0) and minimize it.]
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
can be represented as: 
Substitute
for 

So, next:
Calculate the distance between
and 
Distance is calculated as:

So:


Evaluate all exponents

Rewrite as:


Differentiate using chain rule:
Let


So:



Chain Rule:




Substitute: 

Next, is to minimize (by equating d' to 0)

Cross Multiply

Solve for x


Substitute
in 

Split

Rationalize



Hence:

44-2x=x-10
subtract 44 from both sides
-2x= x-54
subtract x from both sides
-3x= -54
divide by -3
x= 18
square root of 18= 4.24
in radical form 3 square root of 2
