How do I solve simultaneous equations that aren't linear, for example x^2 + 2y = 9, y = x + 3

First, let's start by labelling the equations. We can call x2+2y=9 equation 1 and y=x+3 equation 2. Rearrange equation 2 to give us x = y-3. We can then substitute this back into equation 1. So...

If f(x) = x^2, draw the graph of y = f(x) + 3

We can first draw the graph of y = f(x) = x^2 which is a simple graph like this (whiteboard). Now looking at y = f(x) + 3, we can see that this is a translation by the vector [0 3]. Therefore we can tr...

Find the equation of the tangent to the curve y=x^3 + 4x^2 - 2x - 3 where x = -4

(1) is the equation y=x3+4x2-2x-3. First we want to find the coordinates of the curve for x=-4. This means that we are going to substitute x=-4 into (1) to find the value of y. y=(-4...
