 It is obvious that a quadratic function can have two points with 
 minimal distance. 
 
-For example, let $f(x) = x^2$ and $P = (0,5)$. Then $P_{f,1} \approx (2.179, 2.179^2)$
-has minimal distance to $P$, but also $P_{f,2}\approx (-2.179, 2.179^2)$.\todo{exact example?}

 As discussed before, there cannot be more than 3 points on the graph
 of $f$ next to $P$.
