Answer:

<h2>4 units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

$d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} + ({y1 - y2})^{2} } \\$

From the question we have

$d = \sqrt{ {(1 - - 3)}^{2} + ({8 - 8})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ ({1 + 3})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {4}^{2} } \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = \sqrt{16} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

We have the final answer as

<h3>4 units</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=1\ \vee\ x=2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3^{2x}-4\cdot3^{x+1}+27=0\\\\\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\ \text{and}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\\left(3^x\right)^2-4\cdot3^x\cdot3^1+27=0\\\\\left(3^x\right)^2-12\cdot3^x+27=0\\\\\text{substitute}\ 3^x=t>0\\\\t^2-12t+27=0\\\\t^2-3t-9t+27=0\\\\t(t-3)-9(t-3)=0\\\\(t-3)(t-9)+0\iff t-3=0\ \vee\ t-9=0\\\\t-3=0\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\boxed{t=3}\\\\t-9=0\qquad\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\boxed{t=9}$
