Greetings,
I'm working on a problem where I am to find the coordinates of the point (x,y,z) to the plane z=3x+2y+1, which is closest to the origin.
I know that this is an optimization problem, and I believe I have to minimize (x,y,3x+2y+1).
I started by finding partial derivative, fx, of the magnitude of the function.
f_{x}=\frac{10x+12y+4}{2\sqrt{x^2+y^2+2x+3y+1}}
Setting that = 0
0 =\frac{10x+12y+4}{2\sqrt{x^2+y^2+2x+3y+1}}
now what?
