p = (x2 - x1)2 + (2√x2 - x1 - 2)2
p' = -2(x2 - x1) - 2(2√x2 - x1 - 2) = 0 [ p' is ∂p/∂x1 ]
→ (x1 - x2) = (2√x2 - x1 - 2)
→ x1 = √x2 + x2/2 - 1

p = (x2/2 - √x2 + 1)2 + (√x2 - x2/2 - 1)2
= 2(x2/2 - √x2 + 1)2

Let √x2 = x

p = (x2 - 2x + 2)2/2

p'=0
→ (x2 - 2x + 2)(x - 1) = 0
→ x = 1

So, pmin = 1/2

bahut badiya rajat i used the same method [4][4][4][4]

OH O k k..... read the latter partr of ur point later!!

But hey how do u know exactly these sub will work?

21
tapanmast Vora ·

followin is jus an eg.

If P = (2x1 - x + 2)2 + ( x2 - 3x1 + 5)2

then wat wud hav bn the curves?

rajat sen ·

\texttt{The terms in the second bracket are } 2.\sqrt{x_{2}} \texttt{ and } x_1+2 \texttt{ respectively thats why !}

tapanmast Vora ·

yah but y do u consider jus da 2nd bracket?

mayb my que in POST # 25 will make my dbt more clear

@Nishant Sir, Sir I m not gettin the ans wid partial differentiation approach [2] can u help me proceed

Lokesh Verma ·

@tapan..

if you keep x1 constant..

then it will be a quadratic in x2

you can find the x2 for minimum value in terms of x1

substitute that in original form

now minimise this for the single varaible x1

tapanmast Vora ·

Ya sir, i know how to partial differentiate,

"@Nishant Sir, Sir I m not gettin the ans wid partial differentiation approach can u help me proceed"

wait 2 min, I'll post my workin

Does the min value of x in abov graf give the necessary value of P?

then how cum is it not 0.5

21
tapanmast Vora ·

Oh k! yah i got how to find the min. dis b/w these 2 curves..........

but had i doubt that WHY/HOW does making such assumptions of these 2 specific curves help u get da min val of P?

great work yaar

credit to nishant bhaiyya.....thanx bhaiyya!!![1][1]

Lokesh Verma ·

yes tapan.. you are right.. my method gives a very very very very very dirty answer for this one..

rajat's method is very good for this one..

basically that is what should be done..

I dont see another way out!

62
Lokesh Verma ·

oops rkrish solved it :D

wow.. and i am posting that this is getting messy ;) :D

rkrish ·

.....BUT bhaiyya ....I worked out acc. to wat you said(partial derivative wrt x1) and got the ans.

Pls tell me if I have made any careless or silly mistake in post#33.

ohhhhhhhhh!!! [5][5][5]

tapanmast Vora ·

OH K!!!!

thnx rkrish n SIR ( for a nice methd)

SIR : Can u pl. explain me the rational b/h Rajat's solution! (i.e. can u pl. tell me how can v apply Rajat's methd if the questn was like in POST #25

rkrish ·

@tapan...

I think I understood rajat's approach...

Acc. to the ques,
p=(x2 - x1)2 + (2√x2 - (x1+2))2 = d2 (let)

If you take y2 = 2√x2 : C2 (let)
& y1 = (x1+2) : C1 (let)
you get d in the form of :-

d = √(x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2

Now, d is minimum distance b/w curves C1 & C2
and pmin = d2

Now see if you can convert post#25 in the form of the "Dist. Formula" by some substitution.....Otherwise......no other way out(follow wat Nishant bhaiyya's approach)!!!!

THNX rkrish........... thnx a ton buddy!!!

NOW I AM RICH WITH 2 methods of solving this type of sums........

thnx all!!!!!!!!! [1]

ans to a hai but method bhi batao zara mane thode lambe method se kiya tha

Lokesh Verma ·

Vishal which si the question?

(x2-x1)^2+(2\sqrt{x2}-x1-2)^2 \\ or\\ (x2-x1)^2+(2\sqrt{x2-x1}-2)^2 \\

greatvishal swami ·

upar wala bro root only with x2

21
tapanmast Vora ·

is da ans = 1?

1
greatvishal swami ·

no its not one its ..
1/2

21
tapanmast Vora ·

maine ANS nahi dejha hai, but for sure then its gotta be less than 1....

WAS IT an MCQ?
Wat wer da options?

1
greatvishal swami ·

opt r
a) 1/2
b) 1/3
c) 3/2
d) 9/4
