x coordinates of two points B and C are ...

`x` coordinates of two points B and C are the roots of equation `x^2 +4x+3=0` and their `y` coordinates are the roots of equation `x^2 -x-6=0`. If `x` coordinate of B is less than the `x` coordinate of C and `y` coordinate of B is greater than the `y` coordinate of C and coordinates of a third point A be `(3, -5)`, find the length of the bisector of the interior angle at A.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the x-coordinates of points B and C We need to solve the quadratic equation \(x^2 + 4x + 3 = 0\). Using the factorization method: \[ x^2 + 4x + 3 = (x + 1)(x + 3) = 0 \] Thus, the roots are: \[ x = -1 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -3 \] Since the x-coordinate of B is less than that of C, we assign: \[ B(-3, y_B) \quad \text{and} \quad C(-1, y_C) \] ### Step 2: Find the y-coordinates of points B and C Now, we solve the quadratic equation \(x^2 - x - 6 = 0\). Using the factorization method: \[ x^2 - x - 6 = (x - 3)(x + 2) = 0 \] Thus, the roots are: \[ y = 3 \quad \text{and} \quad y = -2 \] Since the y-coordinate of B is greater than that of C, we assign: \[ B(-3, 3) \quad \text{and} \quad C(-1, -2) \] ### Step 3: Find the length of AB Given point A is \(A(3, -5)\), we will use the distance formula to find the length of AB: \[ AB = \sqrt{(x_B - x_A)^2 + (y_B - y_A)^2} \] Substituting the coordinates: \[ AB = \sqrt{(-3 - 3)^2 + (3 - (-5))^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{(-6)^2 + (8)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \] ### Step 4: Find the length of AC Now we find the length of AC: \[ AC = \sqrt{(x_C - x_A)^2 + (y_C - y_A)^2} \] Substituting the coordinates: \[ AC = \sqrt{(-1 - 3)^2 + (-2 - (-5))^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (3)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] ### Step 5: Use the Angle Bisector Theorem According to the Angle Bisector Theorem: \[ \frac{BD}{DC} = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \] This means that \(BD:DC = 2:1\). ### Step 6: Find the coordinates of point D using the section formula Using the section formula, where D divides BC in the ratio \(2:1\): \[ D\left(\frac{m_1x_2 + m_2x_1}{m_1 + m_2}, \frac{m_1y_2 + m_2y_1}{m_1 + m_2}\right) \] Here, \(m_1 = 2\), \(m_2 = 1\), \(B(-3, 3)\), and \(C(-1, -2)\): \[ D\left(\frac{2 \cdot (-1) + 1 \cdot (-3)}{2 + 1}, \frac{2 \cdot (-2) + 1 \cdot 3}{2 + 1}\right) \] Calculating the coordinates: \[ D\left(\frac{-2 - 3}{3}, \frac{-4 + 3}{3}\right) = D\left(\frac{-5}{3}, \frac{-1}{3}\right) \] ### Step 7: Find the length of AD Now we find the length of AD: \[ AD = \sqrt{(x_D - x_A)^2 + (y_D - y_A)^2} \] Substituting the coordinates: \[ AD = \sqrt{\left(3 - \frac{-5}{3}\right)^2 + \left(-5 - \frac{-1}{3}\right)^2} \] Calculating: \[ = \sqrt{\left(3 + \frac{5}{3}\right)^2 + \left(-5 + \frac{1}{3}\right)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{\left(\frac{9}{3} + \frac{5}{3}\right)^2 + \left(-\frac{15}{3} + \frac{1}{3}\right)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)^2 + \left(-\frac{14}{3}\right)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{\frac{196}{9} + \frac{196}{9}} = \sqrt{\frac{392}{9}} = \frac{14\sqrt{2}}{3} \] ### Final Answer The length of the bisector of the interior angle at A is \(\frac{14\sqrt{2}}{3}\). ---
