try doing this with graphs...

draw the graphs of |x|=6

and the equation of AB <=4 will be a circle...

Then u try.. if u dont get the solutino.. i will post it :)

Well that is the answer....! But why can't we use distance formula for that ???

u can use..

(6-3)2+(y-4)2≤16

solve it to get -√7+4≤y≤√7+4
count no of integral y in this interval

so 5 points ..

x=-6 wont have any..

if u solve (-6-3)2+(y-4)2≤16 no soln..

didn't get you....can u explain it in detail a bit?

Lokesh Verma ·

yup you can uma..

i will tell u the solution with that method too..

let the point on the line be (6, t)

the distance from 3,4 will be

root of

32+(t-4)2

so this will be ≤16

(t-4)2≤7

t-4≤√7 and t-4≥-√7

t=2,3,4,5,6

B(6,y)

A(3,4)

apply distance formula
(6-3)2+(y-4)2 ≤4

and solve it.. u will get a condition in y
-√7+4≤y≤√7+4

take approximate values..

1.__≤y≤6.__

so y=2,3,4,5,6

B: (6,2)
(6,3)
(6,4)
(6,5)
(6,6)
