4. (Demonstration) (p.270, Q. 19) Find the point P on the line y = 3x that is closest to the point (50, 0).
What is the least distance between P and (50, 0)?
5. (Demonstration) (p.270, Q. 25) A rectangle is constructed with its base on the diameter of a semicircle
with radius 5 and with its two other vertices on the semicircle. What are the dimensions of the rectangle
with maximum area?

12. (Class work) (p.270, Q. 20) Find the point P on the line y = x2 that is closest to the point (18, 0).
What is the least distance between P and (18, 0)?
Answer
13. (Class work)(p.271, Q. 30) (a) A rectangle is constructed with one side on the positive x−axis, one
side on the positive y−axis, and the vertex opposite the origin on the line y = 10 − 2x. What dimensions
maximize the area of the rectangle, and the corresponding area?
(b) Is it possible to construct a rectangle with a larger area than that found in (a) by placing one side
of the rectangle on the line y = 10 − 2x, and the two vertices not on that line on the positive x− and
y−axes? Find the dimensions of the rectangle constructed this way.
Answer
14. (Class work) (page 282, Q. 34) Approximate the change in the volume of a right circular cone of fixed
hight h = 4 m when its radius increases from r = 3 m to h = 3.05 m (V = πr2 h/3).
