Chapter 11, Problem 12

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the line given by the parametric equations and the point for any real number (a) Write the distance between the point and the line as a function of (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the function in part (a). Use the graph to find the value of such that the distance between the point and the line is minimum. (c) Use the feature of a graphing utility to zoom out several times on the graph in part (b). Does it appear that the graph has slant asymptotes? Explain. If it appears to have slant asymptotes, find them.
