Assessment: JAMB UTME - Mathematics - 2010 Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

Find the distance between the points \( \left(\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{1}{2}\right) \).

Answer Details
Let D denote the distance between ( 1 2 , - 1 2 ) then using
D =  ( x 2 − x 1 ) 2 + ( y 2 − y 1 ) 2
=  ( − 1 2 − 1 2 ) 2 + ( − 1 2 − 1 2 ) 2
=  ( − 1 ) 2 + ( − 1 ) 2
=  1 + 1
= √2
