Ni Hua is an adventurous traveler. He skydives twice in every island he visits and skydives thrice in every peninsula he visits.

In the last decade, Ni Hua went skydiving a total of 45 times in the 19 islands and peninsulas that he visited. How many islands and peninsulas did Ni Hua visit?

Let the number of islands visited be x and that peninsulas be y
thus,
x+y=19
⇒y=19-x.........i
if he skydives twice in islands and thrice in peninsulas, then the total number of skydives will be:
2x+3y=45.....ii

substituting i in ii we get:
2x+3(19-x)=45
2x+57-3x=45
putting like terms together we get:
2x-3x=45-57
-x=-12
therefore
x=12
and
y=19-x=19-12=7
hence the number of islands visited was 12 and that of peninsulas was 7

Find all points on the x-axis that are 14 units from the point (6,-7) All points on the x-axis that are 14 units from the point
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: (6+7\sqrt{3},0)\text{ and }(6-7\sqrt{3},0) are the required points.

or  (18.124,0) and ( -6.124,0) are the required points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x,0) be the point on x -axis that are 14 units from the point (6,-7) .

Then by distance formula , we have

\sqrt{(x-6)^2+(0-(-7))^2}=14\ \ \ [\ \because distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}]

Taking square on both the sides , we get

(x-6)^2+7^2=14^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+6^2-2(6)x+49=196\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+36-12x=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x=111\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x-111=0

Using quadratic formula : x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{(-12)^2-4(1)(-111)}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{144+444}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{588}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{2^2\times7^2\times3}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm14\sqrt{3}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=6\pm7\sqrt{3}

so, (6+7\sqrt{3},0)\text{ and }(6-7\sqrt{3},0) are the required points.

since \sqrt{3}=1.732

so, (6+7(1.732),0)\text{ and }(6-7(1.732),0) are the required points.

i.e. (18.124,0) and ( -6.124,0) are the required points.
