OpenStudy (dls):

WTF :/

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

So, you learnt calculus? maxima minima, differentiating etc?

OpenStudy (dls):

yes

OpenStudy (dls):

1st derivative=maxima 2nd=minima :)

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

wow! :O

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

NO

OpenStudy (dls):

oh sorry :P 2nd derivative is negative or smt

OpenStudy (dls):

isnt it :o

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

lets go step by step.

OpenStudy (dls):

k

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

take a point R(x,0)

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

RP + RQ = s we have to minimize s. Right?

OpenStudy (dls):

yes

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

elaborate that eqn,

OpenStudy (dls):

\[RP=\sqrt{1+(1-x)^2}\]

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

wow! :O

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

NO

OpenStudy (dls):

lol why :/

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

re-check RQ

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\LARGE S=\sqrt{1+(1-x)^2} + \sqrt{4+(x-3)^2}\]

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

yep. But it'll be a lengthy differentiation, are you up for it ? B|

OpenStudy (dls):

i have a one step solution answer tbh

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

hmm, leme re-think.

OpenStudy (dls):

sure,ill hint in the end if you fail

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

5/3 ?

OpenStudy (dls):

woah ! :O

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

B|

OpenStudy (dls):

arre :P ?

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

pehle apna solution batao, mera soln thora ajeeb hai! :|
