find x if the distance between points L and M is 15 and point M is located in the first quadrant. L=(-6,2) M=(x,2)

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Therefore,

$x = 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let,

point L( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -6 , 2)

point M( x₂ , y₂ )≡ (x , 2)

l(AB) = 15 units (distance between points L and M)

To Find:

x = ?

Solution:

Distance formula between Two points is given as

$l(LM)^{2} = (x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}$

Substituting the values we get

$15^{2}=(x--6)^{2}+(2-2)^{2}\\\\225=(x+6)^{2}$

Square Rooting we get

$(x+6)=\pm \sqrt{225}=\pm 15\\\\x+6 = 15\ or\ x+6 = -15\\\\x= 9\ or\ x = -21$

As point M is located in the first quadrant

x coordinate and y coordinate are positive

So x = -21 DISCARDED

Hence,

$x = 9$

Therefore,

$x = 9$

Product of 2a+3b-c and 2a+3b-c

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Product (multiplication) of 2a+3b-c and 2a+3b-c is −2ac+2a+6b−c.

Explanation:

2a+3b−c(2)a+3b−c

= 2a+3b+−2ac+3b+−c

Combine Like Terms:

= 2a+3b+−2ac+3b+−c

= (−2ac)+(2a)+(3b+3b)+(−c)

= −2ac+2a+6b+−c
