What are the coordinates of the point 3 units from the y-axis and at distance square root of 5 from (5,3)?
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "x-coordinate 3 units from the y-axis=3
\n" ); document.write( "solving for y-coordinate:
\n" ); document.write( "distance between (3,y) and (5,3)=√5
\n" ); document.write( "using distance formula:
\n" ); document.write( "√5=√[(5-3)^2+(3-y)^2]
\n" ); document.write( "√5=√[4+9-6y+y^2]
\n" ); document.write( "square both sides
\n" ); document.write( "5=13-6y+y^2
\n" ); document.write( "y^2-6y+8=0
\n" ); document.write( "(y-2)(y-4)=0
\n" ); document.write( "y=2
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "y=4
\n" ); document.write( "Coordinates are:
\n" ); document.write( "(3,2) or (3,4)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
