Let the range of the function
$
f(x)=6+16 \cos x. \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{3}-x\right) . \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{3}+x\right)
$
$\sin 3 x. \cos 6 x, x \in R$ be $[\alpha, \beta]$. Then the distance of the point $(\alpha, \beta)$ from the line $3 x+4 y+12=0$ is:
Distance between two points
Given, Point A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2) are two points on the cartesian plane

Using Pythagoras Theorem
$
\begin{aligned}
& c^2=a^2+b^2 \\
& A B^2=a^2+b^2 \\
& A B^2=\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2 \\
& |A B|=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}
\end{aligned}
$
Note:
The distance of a point $\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y})$ from the origin $\mathrm{O}(0,0)$ is given by
$
|O A|=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2}=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}
