Solve the simultaneous equations: (1) y – 2x – 4 = 0 , (2) 4x^2 + y^2 + 20x = 0

Rearrange (1): y=2x+4

Subsitute this into (2): 4x2+(2x+4)2+20x=0

Simplify and collect like terms: 8x2+36x+16=0

Factorise: (2x+1)(x+4)=0

A small stone is projected verically upwards from a point O with a speed of 19.6ms^-1. Modeeling the stone as a particle moving freely under gravity find the time for which the stone is more than 14.6m above O

S = 14.7, U = 19.6, V =,  A = -g, T = t

using s = ut + 1/2 at^2
14.7 = 19.6t + 1/2 -g t^2
1/2 g t^2 - 19.6t + 14.7 = 0

t = (19.6 +- sqrroot(-19.6- 4 * 0.5 * 9.8 * 14...
