Let OC is x, so OC=OB=x

${4}^{2} + x^{2} = {(2 + x)}^{2} \\ 16 + {x}^{2} = 4 + 4x + {x}^{2} \\ 12 = 4x \\ x = 3$

Answer: OC=3 points

Answer:

If x=1, then f(x)= undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

1*1=1

1-1=0

0/0

You can't divide by 0, so anything that is divided by 0 is undefined.

((1*1)-1)/(1-1)

(1-1)/(1-1)

0/0

0/0=Undefined

f(x)= undefined

The expression $5 = \sqrt{(x-6^2)+(y - 5)^2}$ can be used to find the coordinate of Point B. Option C is correct.

Given that,
Segment AB has point A located at (6, 5). If the distance from A to B is 5 units, which of the following could be used to calculate the coordinates for point B is to be determined.

<h3>What is the equation?</h3>

The equation is the relationship between variables and represented as y = ax +c is an example of a polynomial equation.

Let the coordinates of B be (x, y)
Now the distance between A (6, 5) and B (x, y) is c = 5 units
So, by the distance formula, the distance between two points is given as,

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