A curve has the equation y = 4x^2 + 5x + 3 and a line has the equation y = x + 2. Show that the line and the curve have one point of intersection.

Set the equations equal to each other: 4x^2 + 5x + 3 = x + 2Collect terms and set equal to 0: 4x^2 + 4x + 1 = 0Factorise the equation: (2x + 1)(2x + 1) = 0Can now find the value of x: 2x + 1 = 0, therefor...

A curve has the equation y=x^2+4x+4 and a line has the equation y=2x+3. Show the line and curve have only one point of intersection and find its coordinate..

First set the equations equal to each other: x^2+4x+4 = 2x+3.Rearrange for x in form ax^2+bx+c : x^2+2x+1=0Factorise: (x+1)^2=0. Repeated root, hence only one intersection. x=-1. Using y=2x+3, y=1. So coo...
