Question

The distance of the points (5, p) and (1, 0)is 6, then the value of p is
a) ±2√5 b) ±2 c) 0 d) 2√5

Answer 1

Answer:d) 2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer-: USING DISTANCE FORMULA

Root [ (x²-x¹)]²+[(y²-y¹)]²=6

-:x¹=5;x²=p

y¹=1;y²=0

So;

Root (p-5)²+(0-1)²=6

p²-25+10p+1=6

p²-24+10p-6=0

p²+10p-30=0
