Use simultaneous equations to find the points where the following lines cross: 3x - y = 4 and x^2 + 7y = 5

The points where the lines cross are the points where the two equations equal each other. To do this we solve simultaneous equations. Call equations as follows:(a) 3x - y = 4(b) x2 + 7y = 5 Fir...

Find the wavelength of a radio wave if the frequency is 11 x 10 ^6 Hz and the speed of radio waves in air is 3 x 10 ^8 m/s.

The key equation here is v = fL ( v is wave speed (m/s), f is frequency (Hz), L is wavelength (m)). We need to rearrange it to get L (the wavelength). To do this, we divide by f to get L = v/f. Frequency ...
