The distance formula is:

We are given two points in the form (x,y), so plug in the values to the distance formula:

Next we can simplify. We know that 12-12 is 0, so we can drop it from the equation, as it will not affect our answer. Also, we know that -10-15 is -25:

The square and square root cancel each other out leaving us with 25.
The answer is 25.
Answer:
P(x) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(x - 3)(3x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since P(1) = 0 and P(- 2) = 0, then
(x - 1) and (x + 2) are factors of P(x)
(x - 1)(x + 2) = x² + x - 2 ← is also a factor of P(x)
dividing 3
- 5x³ - 17x² + 13x + 6 by x² + x - 2 gives
P(x) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(3x² - 8x - 3) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(x - 3)(3x + 1)
