a man starts from the point p(-3,4) and will reach the point q(0,1) touching the line2x+y=7 at R. The coordinates R on the line so that he will travel in the shortest distance is
P( — 3, 4) and Q(0,1) Let the pd nt R be (x ,y). Now PR + RQ is minimum. By distance Formula √(x-(-3))²+ (y —4)² + √(x —0)²+ (y —1)² is minimum.The point is lying on 2x+y=7 , so y=7-2x Replacing y by x we get , = √(x + 3)²+ (7-2x — 4)²+ √x² + (7-2x —1)²= {√(x + 3)²+ ( -2 + 3)²} + {√x² + ( -2 + 6)²}= √x²+9+6x+4x²+9-12x + √x²+4x²-24x+36= L-- √5x²+18 —6x + √5x²-24x +36 Now Differentiating it w.r.t to x ,we get L' — 10x-6 / (2√5x²-6x +18) + 10x-24 / (2√5x²-24x +36) = 0 (equating to0 to find the critical point.)10x-6 / (2√5x²-6x +18) = - 10x-24 / (2√5x²-24x +36)5x-3 / (2√5x²-6x +18) = 12-5x / (2√5x²-24x +36)Squaring both side and after solving, we will get 25x²-192x + 252= 0 x =6and 84/ 50 So the value is minimum for x=84/50 and r 91/25 RegardsArun (askIITians forum expert)
