The values of y are 1 and 3

What is distance formula -

\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

x1 and y1 are x and y coordinates of a point.

similarly x2 and y2 are x and y coordinates of another point.

Explanation with steps -

As point P is equidistant from Q and R, the distances PQ and PR should be the same.

So, calculate distance PQ can be calculated from the above formula

The distance PQ is \sqrt{50}

now use this distance to calculate the unkown 'y'

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{(-10-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2}

\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{49+(y-2)^2}

Squaring both sides

50 = 49 + (y-2)^{2}

y^{2}-4y+3=0

On factorizing,

(y-1)(y-3)=0

Thus we get values of y to be 1 or 3

Consider the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+5=0, where a, b, and c are rational and the quadratic has two didstinct zeros if one zor
erica [24]

Answer:

It can either be rational or irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation ax²+bx+5 = 0, to get the zeros of the function, we will factorize the function to have;

ax²+bx = -5

x(ax+b) = -5

x = -5 and ax+b = -5

From the second function we have;

ax+b = -5

ax = -5-b

x = -5-b/a

This shows that the other value of x can be rational or irrational depending on the values of a and b
