Give an example of a point that is the same distance from (3, 0) as it is from (7, 0). Find lots of examples. Describe the confi

Artist 52 [7]

Supposse that the distance from the point $(x,y)$ to the point $(3,0)$ is equal to the distance from $(x,y)$ to the point $(7,0)$ . Then, by the formula of the distnace we must have

$\sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (y-0)^2}=\sqrt{(x-7)^2 + (y-0)^2}$

cancel the square root and the $(y-0)^2$ 's, and then expand the parenthesis to obtain

$x^2 - 6x + 9 = x^2 - 14x + 49$

then, simplifying we obtain

$8x = 40$

therfore we must have

$x=5$

this means that the points satisfying the propertie must have first component equal to 5. So we can give a lot of examples of such points: $(5,0), (5,7),(5,1/2), (5,-10),...$ . The set of this points give us a straight line and the points (3,0) and (7,0) are symmetric with respect to this line.

A deck of 38 cards contains 16 blue cards, 6 red cards, and 16 yellow cards. What is the probability of randomly drawing a blue

GalinKa [24]

The probability of drawing a blue card is equal to the quotient when the number of blue cards is divided by the total number of cards. This is, 16/38 which is also equal to 8/19. Thus, the probability of drawing a yellow card is 8/19. The answer is letter C.

Hi,

L = (1/6)x - 1

P = 2x + 2L = 2x + (2/6)x - 2

P= (7/3)x - 2

x being the width.

Hope this helps!
