$$\mathrm{The}\mathrm{coordinates}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{two}\mathrm{points}\mathrm{A}$$$$\mathrm{\&}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{are}(0,8)\mathrm{and}(9,4)$$$$\mathrm{respectively}.\mathrm{The}\mathrm{point}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{with}$$$$\mathrm{coordinate}(\mathrm{p},0)\mathrm{lies}\mathrm{on}\mathrm{the}$$$$\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{axis}\mathrm{where}0<\mathrm{p}<9.\mathrm{Let}\mathrm{s}$$$$\mathrm{denotes}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{sum}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{length}\mathrm{of}$$$$\mathrm{two}\mathrm{segments}\mathrm{PA}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{PB}.\mathrm{by}$$$$\mathrm{expressing}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{terms}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{p}$$$$\mathrm{otherwise},\mathrm{show}\mathrm{that}\frac{\mathrm{ds}}{\mathrm{dp}}=$$$$\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\sqrt{64+{\mathrm{p}}^2}}-\frac{9-\mathrm{p}}{\sqrt{16+{(9-\mathrm{p})}^2}}$$

$$s=PA+PB=\sqrt{p^2+64}$$$$+\sqrt{{(9-p)}^2+16}$$$$\frac{ds}{dp}=\frac{2p}{2\sqrt{64+p^2}}+$$$$\frac{2(9-p)(-1)}{2\sqrt{16+{(9-p)}^2}}=$$$$\frac{p}{\sqrt{64+p^2}}-\frac{(9-p)}{\sqrt{16+{(9-p)}^2}}\mathrm{<img\; draggable="false"\; role="img"\; class="emoji"\; alt="◻"\; src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/25fb.svg">}$$
