Answer to Problem 1E

The distance between the points is 5.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The points are (1,1),(4,5).

Formula used:

The distance between the points P1(x1,y1) and P2(x2,y2)is|P1P2|=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2

Calculation:

Let the given points be,

(x1,y1)=(1,1) and (x2,y3)=(4,5).

Use the above mentioned formula to find the distance between the points

|P1P2|=(41)2+(51)2=(3)2+(4)2=9+16=25

So, the distance becomes,

25=5

Thus, the equation for x for the given modulus function is 5.
