College Algebra course. Instructor have us this assignment.
1. Let m and n be any real numbers. What is the distance between (0,0) and (2m, m^2 - 1)? What is the distance between (0,0) and (2mn, m^2 - n^2)?
I don't understand what exactly he is wanting. MY confusing is on the phrase "Let m and n be any real numbers."
"all real numbers" means (-infinity, infinity) but this says "any" do I get to just pick 2 random digits?
