Find a point on the x-axis, which is equidistant from the points (7, 6) and (3, 4).

बेरीज

उत्तर

Let (a, 0) be the point on the x axis that is equidistant from the points (7, 6) and (3, 4).

Accordingly, `sqrt((7 - a)^2 + (6 - 0)^2) = sqrt((3 - a)^2 + (4 - 0)^2)`

= `sqrt(49 + a^2 - 14a + 36) = sqrt(9 + a^2 - 6a + 16)`

= `sqrt(a^2 - 14a + 85) = sqrt(a^2 - 6a + 25)`

On squaring both sides, we obtain

a2 - 14a + 85 = a2 - 6a + 25

= -14a + 6a = 25 - 85

= -8a = -60

= `a = 60/8 = 15/2`

Thus, the required point on the x-axis is `(15/2, 0)`.
