What is the (closest) distance from the curve 2 y = x to the point (x, y) = (16,1 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, to the point (x, y) = (16, 0.5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you'll have to find the absolute min in this case. Have you taken Optimization?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 2y = x? or y = x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2y=x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure, but I think it's (8,1). I just substituted the points in the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, thanx for helping again
