Consider the line y=4 x -1 and the point P=(2,0). (a) Write the formula for a function d(x) that describes the distance between the point P and a point (x,y) on the line. You final answer should only involve the variable x. Then d(x) = √(4−x)2(4x−1)2 (b) d'(x)= (c) The critical number is x= . (d) The closest point on the line to P is ( , ).
