    This math problem involves finding the distance d from a point P(x,y) on the graph of the square root function y=√x to the point (1,0). The distance d is expressed as a function of x, graphed, and the minimum value found to determine the closest point P to (1,0), which is then plotted on the graph of y=√x.
