    Find point of Equidistance

    Find point of Equidistance... Find the point that is equidistant from (0,0) , (2,3) , and (3,-2)... I have plotted the points and have drawn a circle, putting all points on the outside...showing the equidistance. I plan on guesstimating a point int he middle, labeling it (X1,Y1)...then, I...

    Trig Functions .

    I'm a little bit confused on this point... I plug tan(theta) back into (x-1)(x+0) ? Thus, making... tan(theta) = 1 and tan(theta) = 0

    Trig Functions .

    2sin^2 (theta) = 1 sin^2(theta) = 1/2 sin(theta) = sqrt(1/2 ? Those are my first few steps...are there any problems?

    Trig Functions .

    Trig Functions... I don't really understand how my book wants me to approach this problem. And I know that you appreciate work...because this is for my benefit after all...but how exactly would this be worked? Direction: Solve the equation for (theta)... 0 is less than or equal to (theta)...
