Find the points on the graph of the function that are closest to the given point. f(x) = x² -5, (0, -4)

Solution:

The graph of the function f(x) = x² − 5 is shown below:

The graph above shows the point of interest (0, -4) as A. The points closest to it are on either side of it.

The points which are on either side of point A(0, -4) and closest to it are B(-1, -4) and C(1, -4)

Find the points on the graph of the function that are closest to the given point. f(x) = x² -5, (0, -4)

Summary:

The points on the graph closest to point (0, -4) are (-1, -4) and (1, -4)
