Answer:

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$=\sqrt{(-4-2)^2+(15-7)^2} \\\\=\sqrt{(-6)^2 + 8^2}\\\\=\sqrt{36 + 64 }\\\\= \sqrt{100} \\\\= 10$

64 POINT QUESTION √(5-2x) - √(2-x) = 1

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

x = 2 and x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way is to guess. We know that you can't have a square root of a negative number. This constrains x between negative infinity to 2. Testing 2 and -2, we see that it satisfy the equation.

The more systematic approach is shown below

$\sqrt{5-2x}-\sqrt{2-x}=1 \\\sqrt{5-2x}-\sqrt{2-x}+\sqrt{2-x}=1+\sqrt{2-x} \\\sqrt{5-2x} = 1+\sqrt{2-x}$

$5-2x=(1+\sqrt{2-x})^2\\5-2x=1+2\sqrt{2-x}+2-x\\2-x=2\sqrt{2-x}\\1-0.5x=\sqrt{2-x}\\(1-0.5x)^2=2-x\\1-x+0.25x^2=2-x\\0.25x^2-1=0\\0.25x^2 = 1\\x^2 = 4\\x = +/-2$
