Optimization: Find a Point on a Curve That is Closest to a Given Point 

coolest math teacher accent so far

Thank you so much for breaking down and explaining the importance of each step of the process! It really helped me understand how to do these types of problems :D

i have a test tomorrow and have been trying to figure this out since my teacher didn’t explain it well. after watching this video once i got it right away thank you!!

I know im four years late but youre the first souther math tutor I have ever heard.

Hey man I just wanted to say that I appreciate your videos. They are very useful for when to need to review some topics.

Thank you for the help, I had this question in my homework and we never learned how to do it in the notes!

I like the explanation!!! I was so stuck and I came across this and got the problem correct!!! Thank you!!

bro responds to every comment, amazing (I also have a test today and this was a godsend so thank you so much)

Thank you very much for the video, I probably would’ve done bad on a test without this My thankfulness to you my fine gentleman!

thank you so much, this video helped me out so much, love that you explain every step.

thank you so much! the way you explained the question makes it feel way simpler

Calc final tomorrow and this was a very helpful last-minute review!

Needed this for my calc exam tomorrow… wish me luck

I love your accent!! Thanks for the math help

have a question here, I'm looking for a solution in three dimensional since I study programming not sure how to find Z-axis. would you please to point me into right direction ? e.g. article with some example like yours will be great. Thanks for the video, your step are very clear, even tell me the correct step before the trick that's very helpful.

LIKE: clear and to the point, easy to follow

5:02 this shortcut is amazing

6:41 Why exactly do you need to be within the domain of the radical which is the distance? Within what is inside the radical or the whole radical itself?

This'll be useful for finding points where two curves intersect on a plane.

this dude is super chill

Thank you for the step by step process ! When doing this, I set d^2 = (x-3)^2 + (y-0)^2 , and when taking the derivative just set d^2 to 0. I reached the same answer. Is there a particular reason why we do it the way shown in the video, and not just the easier way, as in my comment ? Thanks for any replies in advance.

Thank you, this really helped!

Thank You, this was really helpful!

Had a very similar problem; thank you so much!

Thank you! fast and easy to explain!

you're a lifesaver, thank you

Thank you, this really helped me understand

Thanks you good sir, funnily enough this problem was the exact same and my hw problem. Hope I carried over the knowledge. But I made sure to do the steps you mentioned before you did it and checked if I was good. So I think I'm good XD

this video is really helpful i do a level maths in england and this was very similar to the question i had to do so very good 👍

Thank you!! You're a lifesaver

Godbless you wise sage

great video; so underrated

What if the question requires the closest point and the furthest point. How would the answer be different from this one?

I got a question that read: find the points on the curve y= √x, [0, 3] that are closest to and furthest from the point (0, 2).

Thanks! Great explanation!

What if it was asking for the closest point on a circle to another circle

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

what if its x²+y²=1 at 3,0

thanks

Nice video!!!

Blessss

Literal god, thank you so much

thank you~~~

Thank u!!!

Why minimum i didn’t get it
