Solve the two simulatneous equations x^2+y^2=18 and x-y=3

1) X2 +2Y2= 18 2) X - Y = 3 Rearrange 2) in the form X=3-Y then substitute in to 1); (3-y)2 +2Y2=18, this is your new equation 3 9+3Y+3Y+Y2+2Y2=18 3) 9+6y+3Y2= 18 Divide equation 3) by 3 3 +2Y+Y2=6 Solve for...

Using methods of substitution solve the following simultaneous equations: y - 2x - 1 = 0 and 4x^2 + y^2 - 25 = 0

(1) 4x 2 + y 2 - 25 = 0 (2) y - 2x - 1 = 0 Rearranging (2) into an equation of y in terms of x we have:y = 2x +1 now substituting into equation (1) 4x 2 + (2x +1) 2 - 25 = 0 and now expanding this equation w...

Solve the equation 2y^(1/2) -7y^(1/4) +3 = 0

2y 1/2 -7y 1/4 + 3 = 0 We need to use a substitution to obtain a quadratic.Let y 1/4 = x (use the y with the smallest fractional power as your substitution)From this, we can see that y 1/2 = x 2 (using the l...

Using the product rule, differentiate y=(2x)(e^3x)

The product rule states that if y=uv, where u and v are both functions of x , then dy/dx = u(dv/dx) + v(du/dx) Therefore, the differential of 2x e 3x can be found by letting 2x= u and e 3x =v . u= 2x, du/dx ...

Amanda and Wim share some money in the ratio 2:5. Wim receives £115. Calculate how much money was shared?

First, you need to find value of one part . We can see that Wim who has a share of 5 parts gets £115. So, 5 parts is equivalent to £115. Therefore, value of each part is 115/5 = £23. Now, adding the ratios 2...
