Find the points on the curve 1 over straight x squared plus 1 over straight y squared space equals 1 comma space which are nearest from the origin. 


The equation of curve is
       1 over straight x squared plus 1 over straight y squared equals space 1 space space space space space space or space space space 1 over straight y squared space equals space 1 minus 1 over straight x squared space space rightwards double arrow space space space space 1 over straight y squared space equals space fraction numerator straight x squared minus 1 over denominator straight x squared end fraction space space space rightwards double arrow space space space straight y squared space equals space straight x squared over straight x squared minus 1
therefore space space space space straight y space equals space plus-or-minus fraction numerator straight x over denominator square root of straight x squared minus 1 end root end fraction space open vertical bar straight x close vertical bar space greater than space 1                                      ...(1)
Let D be the distance of any point (x, y) on the curve 1 over straight x squared plus 1 over straight y squared space equals space 1 from the origin (0, 0).

therefore space space space space space straight D space equals square root of left parenthesis straight x minus 0 right parenthesis squared space left parenthesis straight y minus 0 right parenthesis squared end root space equals space square root of straight x squared plus straight y squared end root space equals space square root of straight x squared plus fraction numerator straight x squared over denominator straight x squared minus 1 end fraction end root space space space space space space space left square bracket because space of space left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis right square bracket
space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals square root of fraction numerator straight x to the power of 4 minus straight x squared plus straight x squared over denominator straight x squared minus 1 end fraction end root space equals space square root of fraction numerator straight x to the power of 4 over denominator straight x squared minus 1 end fraction end root space equals space fraction numerator straight x squared over denominator square root of straight x squared minus 1 end root end fraction

When straight x equals plus-or-minus square root of 2. space fraction numerator straight d squared straight D over denominator dx squared end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 2 plus 2 over denominator left parenthesis 2 minus 1 right parenthesis to the power of begin display style 5 over 2 end style end exponent end fraction space equals space 4 greater than 0
therefore space space straight D space is space minimum space when space straight x space equals space plus-or-minus square root of 2 comma space space space straight y space equals space plus-or-minus fraction numerator square root of 2 over denominator square root of 2 minus 1 end fraction space equals plus-or-minus square root of 2
therefore space space space space required space points space are space left parenthesis plus-or-minus square root of 2 comma space space space plus-or-minus square root of 2 right parenthesis.
