Find the value of x,y if the distances of the point (x,y) from (-3,0) as well as from (3,0) are 4
Given: distances of the point (x,y) from (-3,0) as well as from (3,0) are 4
To find: $x,y$
Solution:
The distance between (x, y) from (-3, 0) is √[(x + 3)2 + y2]
√[(x + 3)2 + y2] = 4
[(x + 3)2 + y2] = 16
x2 + y2 + 6x - 7 = 0 ... (1)
The distance between (x, y) from (3, 0) is √[(x - 3)2 + y2]
√[(x - 3)2 + y2] = 4
[(x - 3)2 + y2] = 16
x2 + y2 - 6x - 7 = 0 ... (2)
From (1) and (2) we get
6x - 7 = - 6x - 7
x = 0
Put x = 0 in (1) we get y = √7
So x=0 , y = √7
