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:
23 Seconds
The roach is going 2 feet per second so you can split the amount of feet in half because he will go the same distance 2 times as fast.

Answer:
392 I got that correct as well
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
take two points on the line ,i take (-4,0) and (0,-2)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-2-0)/(0+4)=-2/4=-1/2
