Question

Help me solve the problem pictured.

PART B:
Find the two (, y, z) points on the surface z? = x² + 3y² that are closest to
the point (2, 2, 0) and give the corresponding minimum distance.
Clearly set up a two-variable function for distance, show work in solving for
critical point(s) and stop. You do NOT have to use the 2nd derivative test
and you do NOT have to prove you have a minimum.
Type this below: " min dist = ? at (?, ?, ?) and (?, ?, ?) "
%3D
Replacing the "?" with your answers (order of points doesn't matter).
