question 220

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-Let P = (x, y) be a point on the graph of y $$y = \sqrt { x }$$ . Express the distance d from P to the point (1, 0) as a function of x.

• A) \(d ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - x + 1\)
• B) \(d ( x ) = \sqrt { x ^ { 2 } - x + 1 }\)
• C) \(d ( x ) = \sqrt { x ^ { 2 } + 2 x + 2 }\)
• D) \(d ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } + 2 x + 2\)
