Do y=3x^2+5x+12 and y=3x-8 intercept with each other? If yes, at which point(s)?

This is like solving 2 simultaneous equations. Both equations are in a form of y=ax^2+bx+c. Equate both equations together and you got:
3x2+5x+12 = 3x-8

Put both polynomi...

The curve C has equation y = x^3 - 2x^2 - x + 9, x > 0. The point P has coordinates (2, 7). Show that P lies on C.

Every point on the curve C satisfies the equation. In order to show P lies on C, we need to test if either x- or y-coordinates satisfy the equation. It is easier to subsitute x=2 into the equation.
