Q & A
What is analytic geometry?
-Analytic geometry is a branch of mathematics that uses a coordinate system to define and analyze geometric objects. It is also known as coordinate geometry or Cartesian geometry, named after René Descartes.
What is the Cartesian coordinate plane?
-The Cartesian coordinate plane is a two-dimensional plane that is defined by two perpendicular axes: the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis. It is used to graph points and geometric shapes using ordered pairs of numbers.
What are the four quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate plane?
-The four quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate plane are numbered counterclockwise starting from the upper right. They are: the first quadrant (+,+), the second quadrant (-,+), the third quadrant (-,-), and the fourth quadrant (+,-).
What is the distance formula used for?
-The distance formula is used to calculate the distance between two points in a coordinate plane. It is derived from the Pythagorean theorem and is expressed as \( \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \).
How is the distance formula derived?
-The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem by considering the coordinates of two points as the legs of a right triangle and the distance between the points as the hypotenuse.
What are the coordinates of point P mentioned in the script?
-The script does not provide specific coordinates for point P, but it describes point P as being represented by its coordinates (x, y) on the Cartesian coordinate plane.
What is the purpose of the sample problem involving points A(-3, -2) and B(5, 5)?
-The purpose of the sample problem is to demonstrate how to use the distance formula to calculate the distance between two given points, A and B, in the Cartesian coordinate plane.
How is the distance between points A(-3, -2) and B(5, 5) calculated in the script?
-The distance is calculated using the distance formula: \( D = \sqrt{(5 - (-3))^2 + (5 - (-2))^2} \), which simplifies to \( D = \sqrt{8^2 + 7^2} \) and results in a distance of 10 units.
What is the second problem in the script about?
-The second problem involves finding the value of y in the point (3, y + 8) when the distance between this point and the point (7, y) is given as 13.
How is the value of y determined in the second problem?
-The value of y is determined by applying the distance formula to the given points and solving for y. The script suggests using reverse engineering from the given options to find the correct value of y, which is -5.
What is reverse engineering in the context of the second problem?
-Reverse engineering in this context refers to solving the problem by starting from the given distance and working backward to find the unknown variable, y, using the distance formula and the provided options.

📚 Introduction to Analytic Geometry and Distance Formula
This paragraph introduces the concept of analytic geometry, which is a branch of mathematics that utilizes the Cartesian coordinate plane to define and analyze geometric shapes algebraically. The focus is on the distance formula, a fundamental tool used to calculate the distance between two points in the plane. The Cartesian coordinate system is explained, consisting of four quadrants and two perpendicular axes, the x-axis and y-axis. A point is represented by its coordinates (x, y). The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem and is expressed as the square root of the sum of the squares of the differences in the x and y coordinates of the two points. An example is provided to demonstrate the calculation of the distance between two given points.
🔢 Applying the Distance Formula with a Calculator
The second paragraph delves into the practical application of the distance formula using a calculator. It emphasizes the importance of setting the calculator to the correct mode for accurate computations. The process involves entering the differences in the x and y coordinates of two points, squaring these differences, summing them, and then taking the square root of the result to find the distance. A sample calculation is presented, demonstrating how to input and compute the values to find the distance between two points with specific coordinates. Additionally, the paragraph touches on a problem-solving scenario where the distance between two points is given, and one of the coordinates is unknown, requiring the use of the distance formula in reverse to solve for the unknown value.

hi guys in this video we will start our
discussion in analytic geometry so when
we say analytic geometry it is a
geometry that uses rectangular
coordinates or unilateral not in a
popularly known as the Cartesian
coordinate plane
so encourage a c2 or any de cartes the
founder of analytic geometry so in this
first part of our video tutorial we will
talk about the distance formula when you
say it distance formula it is used to
calculate the distance or the distance
between two points so let's take a quick
look in our Cartesian coordinate things
or a Cartesian coordinate plane is
composed of four quadrants you have this
we have the first quadrant you have the
first the second quadrant third and the
fourth quadrant and these two
intersecting lines which are
perpendicular to each other is what you
call the axis so this horizontal is the
x axis and the vertical is the y axis
then when you put a point let's say say
this is a point P say P the point P is
described by its coordinates x and y now
let's proceed to our work distance
formula so some googling young distance
formula suppose that we have two points
a point one so this point one is you
have x1 y1 and point
so you have x2 y2 so the distance
formula is used to compute this distance
so the distance between two points so
this is B now how do you can get that
the concept is using your pedegg
orienteer M so if we extend this point
here in this point here thus forming a
right triangle you have this point here
so this point is you have X sub 2 then Y
sub 1 then this distance line here is
given by you have Y sub 2 course your
boy sub 2 minus y sub 1 the height in
this distance is X sub 2 minus X sub 1
so using the Pythagorean theorem you
have the square of the hypotenuse is
equal to the square or the sum of the
squares of the two side so you have d
squared equals you have take sub 2 minus
X sub 1 squared plus y sub 2 minus y sub
1 squared so the distance is equal to
you have the square root of x sub 2
minus X sub 1 squared plus y sub 2 minus
y sub 1 squared so this is our distance
formula now that's so our first sample
problem
you
so we have these two points for a
negative 3 negative 2 5 so we are
required to find the distance between
those two points so you have a that is 4
so NASA fourth quadrant shop so for 10
decorative 3 so this is 8 point a is 4
negative 3 when point B is in the second
quadrant so negative 2 5 you have
negative 2 5
so the distance is this length so this
length distance we can so for that using
the distance formula here D equals the
square root of we have X sub 2 minus X
sub 1 squared plus y sub 2 minus y sub 1
squared P 2d equals we have xn 2 you
have negative 2 minus X sub 1 so 4
squared plus y sub 2 5 minus negative 3
squared so D equals
we have been unit so the distance is 10
units so that allows me room publish on
calculator technique or sit down by base
mode so be sure none calculator is naka
mode you have computations of 1 then
let's proceed to your shift then pull
young plus so goombahs noon put in
entered and nothing no difference no
Hmong xn twice sample here you have 4
minus negative 2 so 4 minus negative 2
then comma so ship so my is negative 3
so negative 3 minus 5 then parentheses
London equals so my get nothing done
guys young 10 is your distance
so when nothing a meeting in contacting
you formula
so in this next problem here if the
distance between points 3y + 8 7 is 13
then y is equal to so we given time and
distance so you need not not and stock
already need so in this problem feed
emotion compute using a distance formula
but in peanut remodeling solution if
you're given the choice as Esther
bollocks on guys you're given the
choices you can start working from the
option or choices to the problem it's
what you call the reverse engineering so
pundit I didn't get a car tech nothing
so first and nothing moved up but now
computation tires of one then polar
audit to shift pull
so plus then you have three minus eight
you have 3 minus 8 then coma
oh my parentheses then so why -
I've been so Alpha X minus 7 then occult
not injure so coxy and see Yuma
partnership then input nothing as you
involve unum
NASA choice SI 5 so bug in equals not in
the opportune are is 13 so if not say
the 5.35 it means that
five is not the correct answer it means
that this is removed from the auction so
militia automatic then stay nothing you
later see that that is 19 so cut so 19
equals to 13th of correction so possible
answer so boom oh nothing Sabine and see
another guy see you later this parenting
Shang 19 so it right not in you negative
five so call you have negative 5 so
negative 5 we have 13 also treatments
that letter D is our answer since the
negative 5 and 19 satisfies the
condition that the distance is 13
