Point A is at #(4 ,-2 )# and point B is at #(1 ,-3 )#. Point A is rotated #pi/2 # clockwise about the origin. What are the new coordinates of point A and by how much has the distance between points A and B changed?

Answer 1

The new point #A(-2, -4)#
and No change in distance. Same distance#=sqrt10#

the equation passing thru the origin (0, 0) and point A(4, -2) is

#y=-1/2 x#
and distance from (0, 0) to A(4, -2) is #=2sqrt5#
the equation passing thru the origin (0, 0) and perpendicular to line #y=-1/2 x# is
#y=2x" " "#first equation
We are looking for a new point #A(x_1, y_1)# on the line #y=2x# at the 3rd quadrant and #2sqrt5# away from the origin (0, 0).

Use distance formula for "distance from line to a point not on the line"

#d=(ax_1+by_1+c)/(+-sqrt(a^2+b^2)#
Use equation, #y=-1/2x# which is also #x+2y=0#
#a=1# and #b=2# and #c=0#
#d=2sqrt5=(x_1+2y_1)/(+-sqrt(1^2+2^2))#
#2sqrt5=(x_1+2y_1)/(-sqrt(5))" " "#choose negative because, #(x_1, y_1)# is below the line.
#-2sqrt5*sqrt5=x_1+2y_1#
#-10=x_1+2y_1" " "#second equation
#y_1=2x_1" " "#first equation
Using first and second equation. Solve for #(x_1, y_1)#
and #x_1=-2# and #y_1=-4#

Answer 2

The new coordinates of point A after rotating π/2 clockwise about the origin are (-2, -4). The distance between the new point A and point B can be calculated using the distance formula. Then, you can find the difference between the new distance and the original distance between points A and B to determine how much the distance has changed.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
