In submarine location problems, it is often necessary to find a submarine's closest point of approach (CPA) to a sonobuoy| (sound detector) in the water. Suppose that the submarine travels on the parabolic path y =x and that the buoy is located at ¢PA the point 7,- - Complete parts a and b below. 49 a. Show that the value of x that minimizes the distance between the submarine and the buoy is a solution of the equation x= 14x +9 Identify the function whose value should be minimized. Choose the correct answer below. (x – 7)2 + O B. (x- + OC. O D. (x- 7) + Note that the minimum of the distance function will occur at the same value of x as the minimum of the square of the distance function. If the square of the distance function is f(x), find f'(x). f'(x) = %3D
