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:

I'm not sure I understand the question. Is this worded correctly?
