Find the coordinates of the points where the lines y=x^2-5x+6 and y=x-4 intersect.

At the points of intersection the x and y coordinates will be the same. So we can solve the equations simultaneously to see what solutions to x and y solve both equations.Rearrange the second equation to get...

what does it mean if "b^2 - 4ac < 0" for a quadratic equation (eg y = a*x^2 + b*x + c)

The question comes from the quadratic equation r = (-b +- sqrt(b 2 - 4ac)/2a where r is the root or x coordinate where the line crosses the x-axsis (the y coordinate is always 0). If b 2 - 4ac &lt; 0 then to...

A source emits yellow light (λ = 589nm) uniformly in all directions and has a power of 1W. Calculate the total number of photons emitted per second and the frequency with which they impinge on a surface area of (10^−19 m2) at a distance of 1m

First, to break down this sort of question we should read each physical unit (W(atts) in this case) as its equivalent statement. ie 1W=1Js^-1, if this is not intuitive, think of the basic equation P=E/t. (Fu...
