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:

Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
Diagonals are perpendicular so
2x+ 90 + 3x = 180 since this forms a triangle
Combine like terms
5x+ 90 = 180
Subtract 90 from each side
5x +90-90 =180-90
5x = 90
Divide each side by 5
5x/5 = 90/5
x =18
We want to find Angle ABD
ABD = 3x = 3*18 = 54
Assume that 7 is a. We already know that c = 25. The equation is c^2 - a^2 = b^2.
25^2= 625 7^2= 49 625-49= 576
Square root of 576 = 24
