To minimize 1, from the calculus of variations we have # (of) AF _9 4 (aL az ag dz \0z Since f is independent on y and z we have that 0f/dy = 0 and Of/Oz so the equations simplify i (5)-° & (a) -° Oy This is possible only if the expressions in the parentheses are some constants of of Calculating the derivatives we get GV JTF PHB x B= ul 2 Jl+ P+ 2 analogously of i a Jispre This gives i i fitere Vise” Squaring the previous two equations we obtain P=aR1+P+2), #F#=Ga+H7 +2). or rearranged Putting the second equation into the first one we get YS ag analogously, putting the first equation into the second we get —d, 4-4 In both cases, y and 2 are some constants their solution is yaar y These are the equations of two planes. One of them is parallel to = axis and another one is parallel to y axis so they must intersect. The line of their intersection is the required shortest path. hitps:wwuslader-com/aiscussion/question/proveshat-he-shortestcistance-betweer-two-poinlsin-space-i-#-straightline-6226715¢! 25 san2re020 Prove thal the shortest distance between two points in space is a sraigh ine. : Homework Help and Answers: Slader RESULT We use calculus of variations where we take x as the parameter, and y and 2 as functions to show that it is indeed a straight line.
