    Solving Simultaneous Equations (one linear and one quadratic)

     Solutions to simultaneous equation really represent the x∧ y values where the two graphs
    of these functions intersect.
     To solve a pair simultaneous equation where one equation is linear and the other is a
    quadratic we can use a several strategies. However, we will focus on the method of
    substitution.

    Example 1: Solve
    y=2 x 2−3 x+ 1
    y +2=4 x
    Solution:

    y=2 x 2−3 x+ 1… .(1) =


    y=4 x−2 …(2)
    (1) – (2) 0=2 x 2−7 x +3

    Using (2), make y the subject and substitute in (1) y=4 x−2
    2
    2 x −3 x +1=4 x−2
    See page 65 for full solution.

    For further practice try Exercise 2.10 page 67

    5 x −13 x−6=0
    Step 1 :a ×c=−30
    Step 2 : Find pairs of factors of −30.
    Select the one whose ∑ ¿−13∧ product=−30
    Step 3 :replace bx with thosethe ∑ of those two factors (−13 x=−15 x +2 x)
    Step 4 : Factorise∈pairs

    5 x −13 x−6=0
    5 x 2−15 x +2 x −6=0
    5 x ( x−3 )+ 2(x−3)=0
    ( x−3)(5 x+ 2)=0
    ( x−3 ) =0∨5 x +2=0

    EQUATIONS REDUCIBLE TO A QUADRACTIC ( See page 56)

    Some equations may be difficult to solve in their original form in such cases in may be possible
    to reduce them to a quadratic in one unknown variable by making a simple substitution. Once
    this is done the quadratic can then be solved using an appropriate strategy.

    Example:
    Solve: 32 x+1−7 ( 3 x )−6=0

    Solution: Let m=3 x

    Now 32 x+1=32 x ∙3 1

    If m=3 x then m2=32 x .

    This means that 32 x+1=32 x ∙3 1=m 2 ∙ 3=3 m2

    Now we reduce the equation to a quadratic my making the required substitutions. Now we have:
    2
    3 m −7 m−6=0
    −2
    Solve as we would quadratics to get m=3∧m=
    3

    Now substitute those results into your initial substitution to get:


    x
    m=3

    x −2 x
    3=3 ∨ =3
    3
    x
    If 3=3
    Then 31=3 x which means x=1.

    −2 x
    Also, =3 isinvalid
    3

    Now try #1(a), 2(a), 3(a), 4(a), 5(a) Ex.2.8 on page 57

    x
    4 =2
    2x
    2 =2
    2 x=1

    x=

    Example 2: Solve x−3 √ x−4=0

    1
    √ x=x 2
    Solution:

    x−3 √ x−4=0

    Let a=√ x .

    Now ¿
    This means a 2=x

    Now we have:

    a 2−3 a−4=0
    a=4∨a=−1

    Since a=√ x then :

    4= √ x∨−1=√ x

    4= √ x
    x=16

    For −1= √ x the solution is invalid

    Try #1 (b), 2 (b), 3(b), 4(b), 5(b). Page 57 Ex.2.8
