Minimizing a Distance When we seek a minimum or maximum value of a function, it is sometimes easier to work with a simpler function instead. Suppose g(x)=f(x) where f(x)0 for all x. Explain why the local minima and maxima of f and g occur at the same values of x. Let gx be the distance between the point 3,0 and the point (x,x2) on the graph of the parabola y=x2. Express g as a function of x. Find the minimum value of the function g that you found in part b. Use the principle described in part a to simplify your work.

Application of Differential Calculus: Optimization Farmers use a certain plant food costing $4.00 per ounce to help them in growing oranges. It is estimated that when x ounces of the food are used on an ace of orange grove, the farmer is able to get Ln(4x+5) crates of oranges from that acre of land. If the farmer can sell the oranges at $20 per crate, how many ounces should be used per acre to maximize the orange crops net value.
