If the distance between points (x, 0) and (0, 3) is 5, what are the values of x?

उत्तर
We have to find the unknown x using the distance between A( x , 0) and B ( 0 , 3 ) which is 5.In general, the distance between A`(x_1 , x_2 )` and B `(x_2 , y_2) ` is given by,
`AB = sqrt( ( x_2 - x_1 )^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)`
So,
`5 = sqrt ( ( x - 0)^2 + ( 0 -3 )^2 ) `
Squaring both the sides we get,
`x^2 - 16 = 0`
So,
`x = +- 4`

If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
