Find the shortest distance between  the curves 9x^2 +9y^2 −30y+16=0 and  y^2 =x^3  .
$$\mathrm{Find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{shortest}\:\mathrm{distance}\:\mathrm{between} \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{curves}\:\mathrm{9}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{9}{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{30}{y}+\mathrm{16}=\mathrm{0}\:{and} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{2}} ={x}^{\mathrm{3}} \:. \\ $$

like the similar one you posted earlier  circle: x^2 +(y−(5/3))^2 =1; center C= ((0),((5/3)) )  we′re looking for the point P= ((x),((±(√x^3 ))) ) with  ∣CP∣ minimal  we′re looking for the minimum of  f(x)=x^2 +((5/3)±(√x^3 ))^2 =x^3 +x^2 ±((10)/3)(√x^3 )+((25)/9)  f′(x)=3x^2 +2x±5(√x)  3x^2 +2x−5(√x)=0 ⇒ x_1 =0; x_2 =1  3x^2 +2x+5(√x)=0 ⇒ x=0  f(0)=((25)/9)  f(1)=((73)/9) or ((13)/9)  ⇒ minimal distance ∣CP∣=((√(13))/3)  ⇒ minimal distance between curves=((√(13))/3)−1
$$\mathrm{like}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{similar}\:\mathrm{one}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{posted}\:\mathrm{earlier} \\ $$$$\mathrm{circle}:\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({y}−\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1};\:\mathrm{center}\:{C}=\begin{pmatrix}{\mathrm{0}}\\{\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{3}}}\end{pmatrix} \\ $$$$\mathrm{we}'\mathrm{re}\:\mathrm{looking}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{point}\:{P}=\begin{pmatrix}{{x}}\\{\pm\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{3}} }}\end{pmatrix}\:\mathrm{with} \\ $$$$\mid{CP}\mid\:\mathrm{minimal} \\ $$$$\mathrm{we}'\mathrm{re}\:\mathrm{looking}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{minimum}\:\mathrm{of} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)={x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{3}}\pm\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{3}} }\right)^{\mathrm{2}} ={x}^{\mathrm{3}} +{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \pm\frac{\mathrm{10}}{\mathrm{3}}\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{3}} }+\frac{\mathrm{25}}{\mathrm{9}} \\ $$$${f}'\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{3}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}\pm\mathrm{5}\sqrt{{x}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}−\mathrm{5}\sqrt{{x}}=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\:{x}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{0};\:{x}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{5}\sqrt{{x}}=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\:{x}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{0}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{25}}{\mathrm{9}} \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{73}}{\mathrm{9}}\:\mathrm{or}\:\frac{\mathrm{13}}{\mathrm{9}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{minimal}\:\mathrm{distance}\:\mid{CP}\mid=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{13}}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{minimal}\:\mathrm{distance}\:\mathrm{between}\:\mathrm{curves}=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{13}}}{\mathrm{3}}−\mathrm{1} \\ $$

((√(13))/3)−1≈.20185  .2(√2)≈.28284 so this is a good estimate
$$\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{13}}}{\mathrm{3}}−\mathrm{1}\approx.\mathrm{20185} \\ $$$$.\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\approx.\mathrm{28284}\:\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{this}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{good}\:\mathrm{estimate} \\ $$

shortest distance...see(0.8,1) lies on circle...  distance from (0.8,1)≈half diagonal of the  smallest squre  (1/2)×(√((0.2)^2 +(0.2)^2 )) ....pls comment
