I need help!

 

What is the smallest distance between the origin and a point on the graph of y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} (x^2 - 7 + 2x)?

Let the point be (x, y)

You want the minimum of

x2+y2

and 

y=13(x27+2x)

Substitute y in, then use differentiation to find the minimum value of x

The value is about 1.82843 at x = 1.82843
