Please, solve it with all the steps by taking first derivative
[h=1]Find the point on the curve y = x^2 +1 that is closest to the point (18,1)
I know the distance will be calculated between the imaginary point P(x1,y1) and the point (say A) A(18,1).
For more, please see the image and that’s where I’m stucked. Please solve it further.[/h]
