Problem 18

In Exercises 17-26, use Lagrange multipliers to find the minimum distance from the curve or surface to the indicated point. (Hint: To simplify the computations, minimize the square of the distance.)

Curve                                                                                           Point

Line: 2x + 3y = -1                                                                         (0,0)

Step-by-Step Solution:

Step 1 of 5) (c) Let an = (1 + n ln n)>(n2 + 5). For large n, we expect an to behave like (n ln n)>n2 = (ln n)>n, which is greater than 1 >n for n Ú 3, so we let bn = 1>n. Since
