(A) Let the point on the $X$-axis be $S = (x, 0)$ and the given point be $P = (3, 4)$.The distance between $S$ and $P$ is $d$, so $d^2 = (x - 3)^2 + (0 - 4)^2$.$d^2 = (x - 3)^2 + 16$.$(x - 3)^2 = d^2 - 16$.If $d Since the square of a real number cannot be negative, there is no real value of $x$ for $d Therefore, $S$ is an empty set if $d < 4$.
