Find the distance from the origin to the graph of 7x+9y+11=0

One way to do it is with calculus. The distance between any point (x,y)=\left(x,-\dfrac{7x+11}9\right) on the line to the origin is given by

d(x)=\sqrt{x^2+\left(-\dfrac{7x+11}9\right)^2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{130x^2+154x+121}}9

Now, both d(x) and d(x)^2 attain their respective extrema at the same critical points, so we can work with the latter and apply the derivative test to that.

d(x)^2=\dfrac{130x^2+154x+121}{81}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dd(x)^2}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{260}{81}x+\dfrac{154}{81}

Solving for (d(x)^2)'=0, you find a critical point of x=-\dfrac{77}{130}.

Next, check the concavity of the squared distance to verify that a minimum occurs at this value. If the second derivative is positive, then the critical point is the site of a minimum.

You have

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2d(x)^2}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{260}{81}>0

so indeed, a minimum occurs at x=-\dfrac{77}{130}.

The minimum distance is then

d\left(-\dfrac{77}{130}\right)=\dfrac{11}{\sqrt{130}}

Answer:

x >= -7  ................(1a)

x >= 3   ...............(2a1)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =  \sqrt{x+7}-\sqrt{x^2+2x-15}  .............(0)

find the domain.

To find the (real) domain, we need to ensure that each term remains a real number.

which means the following conditions must be met

x+7 >= 0  .....................(1)

AND

x^2+2x-15 >= 0 ..........(2)

To satisfy (1),  x >= -7  .....................(1a) by transposition of (1)

To satisfy (2), we need first to find the roots of (2)

factor (2)

(x+5)(x-3) >= 0

This implis

(x+5) >= 0 AND (x-3) >= 0.....................(2a)

OR

(x+5) <= 0 AND (x-3) <= 0 ...................(2b)

(2a) is satisfied with x >= 3   ...............(2a1)

(2b) is satisfied with x <= -5 ................(2b1)

Combine the conditions (1a), (2a1), and (2b1),

x >= -7  ................(1a)

AND

(

x >= 3   ...............(2a1)

OR

x <= -5 ................(2b1)

)

which expands to

(1a) and (2a1)   OR  (1a) and (2b1)

( x >= -7 and x >= 3 )  OR ( x >= -7 and x <= -5 )

Simplifying, we have

x >= 3  OR ( -7 <= x <= -5 )

Referring to attached figure, the domain is indicated in dark (purple), the red-brown and white regions satisfiy only one of the two conditions.
