a. Draw the parabola y=x^2 and the point (0,3) in the square window -2 < x < 2 and 0 < y <4.

b.    Fill in the four blanks to complete the formula giving the distance D from the point (0,3) to a general point (x,y) in the plane.

D = Sqrt[( - )^2 + ( - )^2]  


c. Find the points on the parabola y=x^2 which are closest to the point (0,3). You must have both appropriate calculations and good explanatory text.
