To solve the problem of finding the points on the curve \( x^2 = 4y \) that are nearest to the point \( (0, 5) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Distance Formula We need to find the distance between a point \( (x, y) \) on the curve and the point \( (0, 5) \). The distance \( d \) can be calculated using the distance formula: \[ d = \sqrt{(x - 0)^2 + (y - 5)^2} \] To simplify our calculations, we will minimize the square of the distance \( d^2 \): ...
