Q:
Find the coordinates of the points lying on the x-axis, P (x, 0), when the distance between points P and A (3, 4 ) is 5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:
Using distance formula:
, square both sides

, get the square roots of both sides
x - 3 = �3
x - 3 = 3 OR x - 3 = -3
x = 6 OR 0
Answers: (6,0) and (0,0)
