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:
a) 19 students
b) the mean 3 9/19
the median 3
the mode 3
c) the range 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The data set shows that
0 points gets 1 student,
1 point gets 1 student,
2 points get 2 students,
3 points get 6 students,
4 points get 4 students,
5 points get 3 students and
6 points get 2 students.
a) There are 1+1+2+6+4+3+2=19 students.
b) The mean is

The average score is 3 9/19 points.
The median is 10th term in the data set - 3 points (means the middle score in the data set)
The mode is 3 points (means most happened score)
c) The range of the data is 6-0=6 points.
Answer:
12/54
Step-by-step explanation:
4x3=12
6x9=54
Answer: (-8,-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
This would depend on what you are asking for.
If you are adding the two numbers(which the word and is implying) you’re answer is 25 1/4.
You get this by finding a common denominator. In this case, that can be 4.
Turn 1/2 in to 2/4.
Next, you add 11 and 13 to get 24.
Then, you’ll add 2/4 and 3/4. You will get 1 1/4
Add 24 and 1 1/4. You have your answer of 25 1/4
