    The value of 'a' if the distance between P(a, 5) and Q(2, a) is 7 units, is

    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

    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}
    $
