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:

Answer:
t = 4
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
<u>Algebra I</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
t + t + t = 12
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>t</u></em>
- Combine like terms (t): 3t = 12
- Divide 3 on both sides: t = 4
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in t into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>t</em>: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
- Add: 8 + 4 = 12
- Add: 12 = 12
Here we see that 12 does indeed equal 12.
∴ t = 4 is a solution of the equation.
Two lines and a point are guaranteed to be coplanar if the two lines share only a single point.
