5. Al-Khwarizmi's geometric version of the problem of solving x² + c = bx is to find a point P such that: (a) The rectangle AP has area c and has one side lying on the line segment AB of length b. (b) Let AC be perpendicular to AB and have the same length b. The point P lies on the line BC. A To C Area = c b P? I P? B X Explain why this construction problem of finding P is equivalent to solving the equation.
