Solve algebraically the simultaneous equations x^2 + y^2 = 25 and y - 3x = 13

Start to solve by substitution: eqn 1 x^2 + y^2 = 25eqn 2 y - 3x = 13 => y = 3x + 13 Substitute eqn 2 into 1: x^2 + (3x +13)^2 = 25expand and simplify the equation ...5x^2 + 39x + 72 = 0 Factorise the equ...

For the equation x^2 - 2x - 8 = y find: (a) The roots. (b) The y-intercept. (c) The coordinate of the turning point

(a) Several methods to do this, simplest would be to factorise the quadratic into (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0 and from here see that root occur at x = 4 and x = -2.(b) Substitute x = 0 into the equation 0^2 - 2 0 - 8...

Solve the simultaneous equations for x and y: 2x - 3y + 4 = 0 , x - 2y + 1 = 0.

Simultaneous equations can be solved either by substitution or elimination. Solving this by elimination:2x - 3y + 4 = 0 (1)x - 2y + 1 = 0 (2)To eliminate x, we can multiply both sides of the second equation ...

8 pens in a bag, 3 blue, 5 red. 2 taken out at random, without replacement. Probability they are the same colour?

Either both blue or both red. 'OR' rule - add probabilities.Blue - first blue and second blue - 'AND' rule - multiply probabilities. 3/8 x 2/7 (as not replaced) = 6/56 = 3/28 (multiply top and bottom)Red - 5...
