Step-by-step explanation:
took the test
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given



Required
The locus of P

Express as fraction

Cross multiply

Calculate AP and BP using the following distance formula:

So, we have:


Take square of both sides
![4 * [(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2] = (x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%20%2A%20%5B%28x%20%2B1%29%5E2%20%2B%20%28y%20%2B2%29%5E2%5D%20%3D%20%28x%20-%202%29%5E2%20%2B%20%28y%20-%204%29%5E2)
Evaluate all squares
![4 * [x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 +4y + 4] = x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 - 8y + 16](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%20%2A%20%5Bx%5E2%20%2B%202x%20%2B%201%20%2B%20y%5E2%20%2B4y%20%2B%204%5D%20%3D%20x%5E2%20-%204x%20%2B%204%20%2B%20y%5E2%20-%208y%20%2B%2016)
Collect and evaluate like terms
![4 * [x^2 + 2x + y^2 +4y + 5] = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%20%2A%20%5Bx%5E2%20%2B%202x%20%2B%20y%5E2%20%2B4y%20%2B%205%5D%20%3D%20x%5E2%20-%204x%20%2B%20y%5E2%20-%208y%20%2B%2020)
Open brackets

Collect like terms


Divide through by 3

Equation required for this question:
an • 1.072^n = 14,580
Where a = payment every half year and n = number of half years
There are 12 half years in 6 years.
Therefore n = 12, substitute this.
12a • 1.072^12 = 14,580
12a = 14,580 / 1.072^12
12a = 6,330~
a = 527.5 ~
the greatest common multiple of 24 and 60 is 12
