The shortest distance is the minimum value of f which I have attached.

Extracted text: By finding the extreme values of f, find the shortest distance between L and L. Be sure to fully justify your answer. Hint: The expression for the distance-squared is often simpler than the expression for the distance. So you may find it easier to work with f² instead of f. If yon do so, be sure to clearly explain how the process of optimizing f² is related to optimizing f.]
