📰 Solution: The closest point is the projection of $(4, 3)$ onto the line. The formula for the projection of a point $(x_0, y_0)$ onto $ax + by + c = 0$ is used. Rewriting the line as $\frac{1}{2}x + y - 5 = 0$, we compute the projection. Alternatively, parametrize the line and minimize distance. Let $x = t$, then $y = -\frac{1}{2}t + 5$. The squared distance to $(4, 3)$ is $(t - 4)^2 + \left(-\frac{1}{2}t + 5 - 3\right)^2 = (t - 4)^2 + \left(-\frac{1}{2}t + 2\right)^2$. Expanding: $t^2 - 8t + 16 + \frac{1}{4}t^2 - 2t + 4 = \frac{5}{4}t^2 - 10t + 20$. Taking derivative and setting to zero: $\frac{5}{2}t - 10 = 0 \Rightarrow t = 4$. Substituting back, $y = -\frac{1}{2}(4) + 5 = 3$. Thus, the closest point is $(4, 3)$, which lies on the line. $\boxed{(4, 3)}$ 📰 Question: A hydrologist models groundwater flow with vectors $\mathbf{a} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\mathbf{b} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}$. Find the angle between these flow directions. 📰 Solution: The angle $\theta$ between $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$ is given by $\cos\theta = \frac{\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}}{\|\mathbf{a}\| \|\mathbf{b}\|}$. Compute the dot product: $2(1) + (-3)(4) = 2 - 12 = -10$. Compute magnitudes: $\|\mathbf{a}\| = \sqrt{2^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{13}$, $\|\mathbf{b}\| = \sqrt{1^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{17}$. Thus, $\cos\theta = \frac{-10}{\sqrt{13}\sqrt{17}}$. Rationalizing, $\theta = \arccos\left(-\frac{10}{\sqrt{221}}\right)$. $\boxed{\arccos\left(-\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{221}}\right)}$ 📰 Horse Girl Racing Game 9740516 📰 You Wont Believe What Improves Super Nes Mario World The Ultimate Upgrade Revealed 5939857 📰 Indiana Fever Vs Atlanta Dream Tickets 4498613 📰 Max Hsa Secrets Boost Savings Impact Like Never Beforewatch This 7067465 📰 Surprise Read Receipts Are Hiddenheres The Proven Method To Ask 5309306 📰 Crcl Option Chain Bombshell Trades That Changed Wall Street Forever 1513061 📰 Wheat Stock 5721545 📰 Add 10 Liters Of Water To The Solution 5140567 📰 Jolt Drink 2008397 📰 Bp Stock Just Hit All Time Highs Could This Be The Perfect Timing To Invest 7765368 📰 Block Jumping Game 9747604 📰 Dont Miss Outhonda Stock Jumps Past 50 Is Your Portfolio Ready 1646867 📰 Is Somtic 3 The Next Big Thing Experts Says Its Already Revolutionizing Tech 860905 📰 You Wont Believe Whats Driving Sdow Stockthis Trajectory Wont Last Forever 3556345 📰 Preppy Hintergrnde Youve Never Seen Theyre Breakings The Rules You Never Knew 3440875
