Find the values of x, y if the distances of the point (x, y) from (-3, 0) as well as from (3, 0) are 4.
उत्तर
We have P(x, y), Q(-3, 0) and R(3, 0)
`PQ = sqrt((x + 3)^2 + (y - 0)^2)`
`=> 4 = sqrt(x^2 + 9 + 6x + y^2)`
Squaring both sides
`=> (4)^2 = (sqrt(x^2 + 9 + 6x + y^2))`
`=> 16 = x^2 + 9 + 6x + y^2`
`=> x^2 + y^2 = 16 - 9 - 6x`
`=> x^2 + y^2 = 7 - 6x` ......(1)
`PR = (sqrt((x - 3)^2 + (y - 0)^2)`
`=> 4 = sqrt(x^2 + 9 - 6x + y^2)`
Squaring both sides
`(4)^2 = (sqrt(x^2 + 9 - 6x + y^2))`
`=> 16 = x^2 + 9 - 6x + y^2`
`=> x^2 + y^2 = 16 - 9 + 6x`
`=> x^2 + y^2 = 7 + 6x` .....(2)
Equating (1) and (2)
7 - 6x = 7 + 6x
⇒ 7 - 7 = 6x + 6x
⇒ 0 = 12x
⇒ x = 0
Substituting the value of x = 0 in (2)
`x^2 + y^2 = 7 + 6x`
`0 + y^2 = 7 + 6 xx 0`
`y^2 = 7`
`y = +- sqrt7`

Read the following passage:
|
Alia and Shagun are friends living on the same street in Patel Nagar. Shagun's house is at the intersection of one street with another street on which there is a library. They both study in the same school and that is not far from Shagun's house. Suppose the school is situated at the point O, i.e., the origin, Alia's house is at A. Shagun's house is at B and library is at C. |
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
- How far is Alia's house from Shagun's house?
- How far is the library from Shagun's house?
- Show that for Shagun, school is farther compared to Alia's house and library.
OR
