1. The distance of a point (x, y) from the origin is given by the formula: d = √(x² + y²) Here, the distance is given as 5 units. Therefore, we have: √(x² + y²) = 5 Square both sides to eliminate the square root: x² + y² = 25 This equation represents a circle with radius 5 centered at the origin. StepRead more

    The distance of a point (x, y) from the origin is given by the formula:

    d = √(x² + y²)

    Here, the distance is given as 5 units. Therefore, we have:

    √(x² + y²) = 5

    Square both sides to eliminate the square root:

    x² + y² = 25

    This equation represents a circle with radius 5 centered at the origin.

    Step 1: Analyze the third quadrant
    In the third quadrant, both x and y are negative. Thus, any point (x, y) in the third quadrant must satisfy:
    – x < 0
    – y < 0
    – x² + y² = 25

    Step 2: Check if there are infinitely many solutions
    For any point on the circle x² + y² = 25, there are infinitely many points that satisfy this equation because it is a continuous curve. Specifically, in the third quadrant, there are infinitely many points where both x and y are negative, as long as they satisfy the circle equation.

    For example:
    – If x = -3, then y² = 25 – (-3)² = 25 – 9 = 16, so y = -4 (since y < 0 in the third quadrant).
    – If x = -4, then y² = 25 – (-4)² = 25 – 16 = 9, so y = -3 (since y < 0 in the third quadrant).

    This process can be repeated for infinitely many values of x in the range -5 ≤ x < 0, each corresponding to a unique y-value in the third quadrant.

    Step 3: Conclusion
    There are infinitely many points in the third quadrant that lie on the circle x² + y² = 25.

    The correct answer is:
    d) infinitely many

  2. To find the ratio in which the x-axis divides the line segment joining the points (2, -3) and (5, 6), we use the section formula. The x-axis has the equation y = 0, so the point of division lies on the x-axis, meaning its y-coordinate is 0.  Step 1: Section formula The section formula states that ifRead more

    To find the ratio in which the x-axis divides the line segment joining the points (2, -3) and (5, 6), we use the section formula. The x-axis has the equation y = 0, so the point of division lies on the x-axis, meaning its y-coordinate is 0.

     Step 1: Section formula
    The section formula states that if a point (x, y) divides the line segment joining two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) in the ratio m:n, then:

    x = (mx₂ + nx₁) / (m + n)
    y = (my₂ + ny₁) / (m + n)

    Here, the given points are:
    (x₁, y₁) = (2, -3)
    (x₂, y₂) = (5, 6)

    Let the ratio be m:n. Since the point of division lies on the x-axis, its y-coordinate is 0. Using the y-coordinate formula:

    y = (my₂ + ny₁) / (m + n)

    Substitute y = 0, y₁ = -3, and y₂ = 6:

    0 = (m(6) + n(-3)) / (m + n)

    Simplify:

    0 = (6m – 3n) / (m + n)

    Multiply through by (m + n) (which is nonzero):

    6m – 3n = 0

    Rearrange to solve for the ratio m:n:

    6m = 3n
    m/n = 3/6
    m/n = 1/2

    Thus, the ratio is 1:2.

    Step 2: Verify the solution
    The x-axis divides the line segment in the ratio 1:2. To confirm, substitute m = 1 and n = 2 into the section formula for the y-coordinate:

    y = (my₂ + ny₁) / (m + n)
    y = (1(6) + 2(-3)) / (1 + 2)
    y = (6 – 6) / 3
    y = 0

    This confirms that the point of division lies on the x-axis.

    The correct answer is:
    a) 1:2

  3. To find the value of y such that the points P(2, 4), Q(0, 3), R(3, 6), and S(5, y) form a parallelogram PQRS, we use the property that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

    To find the value of y such that the points P(2, 4), Q(0, 3), R(3, 6), and S(5, y) form a parallelogram PQRS, we use the property that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. This means the midpoints of the diagonals PR and QS must coincide.

     Step 1: Find the midpoint of diagonal PR
    The formula for the midpoint of a line segment joining two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is:

    Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)

    For diagonal PR, the endpoints are P(2, 4) and R(3, 6). The midpoint of PR is:

    Midpoint of PR = ((2 + 3)/2, (4 + 6)/2)
    = (5/2, 10/2)
    = (5/2, 5)

    Step 2: Find the midpoint of diagonal QS
    For diagonal QS, the endpoints are Q(0, 3) and S(5, y). The midpoint of QS is:

    Midpoint of QS = ((0 + 5)/2, (3 + y)/2)
    = (5/2, (3 + y)/2)

    Step 3: Equate the midpoints
    Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, the midpoints of PR and QS must be equal. Therefore:

    (5/2, 5) = (5/2, (3 + y)/2)

    Equating the y-coordinates:

    5 = (3 + y)/2

    Multiply through by 2 to eliminate the denominator:

    10 = 3 + y

    Solve for y:

    y = 10 – 3
    y = 7

     Step 4: Verify the solution
    Substitute y = 7 into the coordinates of S(5, y), making S(5, 7). Recalculate the midpoint of QS:

    Midpoint of QS = ((0 + 5)/2, (3 + 7)/2)
    = (5/2, 10/2)
    = (5/2, 5)

    This matches the midpoint of PR, confirming that the diagonals bisect each other.

    The correct answer is:
    a) 7

    The distance of a point (x, y) from the x-axis is given by the absolute value of its y-coordinate. This is because the x-axis is the horizontal line where y = 0, and the vertical distance between the point and the x-axis depends only on the y-coordinate.

    Given the point (-1, 7), the y-coordinate is 7. The distance from the x-axis is:

    Distance = |y| = |7| = 7 units

    Thus, the distance of the point (-1, 7) from the x-axis is 7 units.

    We are given that 0° ≤ A, B ≤ 90°, sin A = 1/2, and cos B = 1/2. We need to find the value of A + B.

    Step 1: Solve for A using sin A = 1/2
    The sine function is defined as:
    sin A = opposite/hypotenuse.

    From trigonometric values, we know:
    sin 30° = 1/2.

    Since 0° ≤ A ≤ 90°, the only possible value for A is:
    A = 30°.

    Step 2: Solve for B using cos B = 1/2
    The cosine function is defined as:
    cos B = adjacent/hypotenuse.

    From trigonometric values, we know:
    cos 60° = 1/2.

    Since 0° ≤ B ≤ 90°, the only possible value for B is:
    B = 60°.

    Step 3: Calculate A + B
    Now, add the values of A and B:
    A + B = 30° + 60° = 90°.

    Step 4: Final Answer
    The value of A + B is:
    c) 90°.
