Do all three of the following problems. Let $d$ be the number on the
whiteboard calculated from your student id. Clearly calculate this and
put it at the top of your worksheet that you hand in.
Question #1:
Find the point on the curve $y=sin(x)/x$ which is closest to
the point $(-3\pi/2,1/2)$.
Question #2:
Find the points on the curve $y=sin(x)/x$ which are closest to
the line $y = -1+1/d$ which are subject to the constraint that
the vector connecting the
point on the line and the curve is parallel to the curve and $-3\pi \leq x \leq 0$.
Question #3:
Graph $y=sin(x)/x$, $y=-1+1/d$, the point $(-3\pi/2,1/2)$ and all of your maxima and
minima with the $x$ value on the curve $y=sin(x)/x$ the range of
$-3\pi \leq x \leq 0$ (the range for your points on the line $y=-1+1/d$ may be
different) and the lines connecting the curve
and the relevant points. Graph them all on the same picture.
NOTE THAT THE PENALTY FOR HANDING THIS IS LATE IS QUITE STRICT. I WANT YOU TO
DO THIS IN THE ALOTTED TIME.
