In this section we learn how to solve simultaneous equations involving quadratics and linears.
For example, by the end of this section we'll know how to solve either of the following pair of simultaneous equations:
In this first section we learn how to solve simultaneous equations such as: \[\begin{aligned} & y = x^2 + 5x - 7 \\ & y = 2x + 3 \end{aligned}\] The method used is the method of substitution.
When solving such simultaneous equations we're finding the coordinates (\(x\) and \(y\)) of the point(s) of intersection of a parabola and a line.
The method for solving such simultaneous equations, and therefore for finding the coordinates of the point(s) of intersection of a parabola and a line, is shown in the following tutorials.
In this example we solve the following pair of simultaneous equations: \[\begin{aligned} & y = x^2 + 5x - 7 \\ & y = 2x + 3 \end{aligned}\]
In this example we solve the following pair of simultaneous equations: \[\begin{aligned} & y = x^2 + 4x - 9 \\ & 2x - y = 6 \end{aligned}\]
We now learn how to solve simultaneous of the type: \[\begin{aligned} & x^2+y^2 = 5 \\ & x + y = 1 \end{aligned} \] Again, we use the method of substtution.
When solving this type of pair of simultaneous equations we're finding the coordinates (\(x\) and \(y\)) of the point(s) of intersection of a circle and a line.
The method for solving such simultaneous equations, and therefore finding the coordinates of the point(s) of intersection of a circle and a straight line, is explained in the following tutorial.
In this example we solve the following pair of simultaneous equations: \[\begin{aligned} & x^2 + y^2 = 5 \\ & x + y = 1 \end{aligned}\]
