Find those points on the y-axis, each of which is at a distance of 13 units from the point A(-5, 7). |
|
Answer» Let the required point on the y-axis be P(0, y). Then, `PA = 13 rArr PA^(2) = 169` `rArr (0+5)^(2) + (y-7)^(2) = 169` `rArr y^(2)-14y +74 = 169 rArr y^(2) -14y -95 =0` `rArr y^(2) - 19y +5y -95=0 rArr y(y-19) +5(y-19) = 0` `rArr (y-19)(y+5) = 0 rArr y-19 = 0" or "y +5 = 0` `rArr y = 19 " or "y = -5` Hence, the required points on the y-axis are B(0, 19) and C(0, -5). |
