The complex conjugate of 2-3i is also a root of z^3+pz^2+qz-13p=0. Find a quadratic factor of z^3+pz^2+qz-13p=0 with real coefficients and thus find the real root of the equation.

z-2+3i times z-2-3i = z2-4z+13. z3-2z2+5z+26 divided by z2-4z+13 = z+2. Therefore the real root is z=-2.

Find the vertex coordinates of parabola y = 2x^2 - 4x + 1


A curve has equation y = f(x) and passes through the point (4,22). Given that f'(x) = 3x^2 - 3x^(1/2) - 7 use intergration to find f(x).


A curve is described by f(x) = x^2 + 2x. A second curve is described by g(x) = x^2 -5x + 7. Find the point (s) where both curves intersect.
