Question 983030
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


If the two points are on the *[tex \Large x]-axis, then they must have coordinates *[tex \Large (x_1,0)] and *[tex \Large (x_2,0)].  Further, the following must be true:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 10\ =\ \sqrt{(1\ -\ x_{1,2})^2\ +\ (8\ -\ 0)^2}]


This will reduce to a quadratic and the two roots will be the missing *[tex \Large x]-coordinates.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
