The correct Answer is:
To prove that the point \((x, \sqrt{1 - x^2})\) is at a distance of 1 unit from the origin \((0, 0)\), we will use the distance formula between two points in a Cartesian coordinate system. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: - The point we are considering is \(A(x, \sqrt{1 - x^2})\). - The origin point is \(O(0, 0)\). 2. **Use the Distance Formula**: The distance \(d\) between two points \(A(x_1, y_1)\) and \(B(x_2, y_2)\) is given by the formula: \[ d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2} \] In our case, \(A\) is \((x, \sqrt{1 - x^2})\) and \(O\) is \((0, 0)\). 3. **Substitute the Points into the Formula**: \[ d = \sqrt{(x - 0)^2 + (\sqrt{1 - x^2} - 0)^2} \] This simplifies to: \[ d = \sqrt{x^2 + (\sqrt{1 - x^2})^2} \] 4. **Simplify the Expression**: The term \((\sqrt{1 - x^2})^2\) simplifies to \(1 - x^2\). Therefore, we have: \[ d = \sqrt{x^2 + (1 - x^2)} \] 5. **Combine Like Terms**: \[ d = \sqrt{x^2 + 1 - x^2} = \sqrt{1} \] 6. **Final Calculation**: \[ d = 1 \] ### Conclusion: We have shown that the distance from the point \((x, \sqrt{1 - x^2})\) to the origin \((0, 0)\) is indeed 1 unit.
