Answer:
d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two points with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given as
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
So, the distance between point (2,0) and a point (x,y)
d = √[(x - 2)² + (y - 0)²]
d = √[(x - 2)² + (y)²]
But the point (x,y) is on the line y = 3x - 1
We can substitute for y in the distance between points equation.
d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]

Answer:
Measure of ∠BCP is 36°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the circle in which measure of arc BC is 72°
we have to find the measure of angle BCP.
m∠BOC=∠2=72°
By theorem angle subtended at the centre is twice the angle formed at the circumference of circle.
∴ ∠2=2∠1 ⇒ 72=2∠1
⇒ ∠1=36°
By alternate segment theorem which states that
The angle formed between a chord and a tangent through one of the end points of chord is equals to angle in alternate segment.
⇒ ∠3=∠1=36°
Hence, measure of ∠BCP is 36°
