This is a quadratic expression in x. It cannot be solved because it is an expression: there is no equation to solve. Furthermore, the discriminant for the quadratic = (-10)2 - 4*3*(-5) = 100+60 = 160 which is not a square number. There are, therefore no rational factors.

While it would be possible to give irrational factors, factorising a quadratic into linear terms containing irrational numbers is rarely useful.

How do you work out what x and y are equal to using x squared plus y squared equals 25 and y equals 3x plus 1?

since y = 3x+1 we have y squared =(3x+1) squared x^2 + y^2 = 25 x^2 + (3x+1)^2=25 x^2 + 9x^2+ 6x+1 = 25 10x^2 + 6x + 1 = 25 10x^2 + 6x -24 = 0 solve x from quadratic formula x = 1.28 y = 3x + 1 = 4.83

What is the point of contact that the parabolas of y equals 2 -2x -x squared and y equals 3x squared plus 10x plus 11 make with each other showing work?

If: y = 2 -2x -x^2 and y = 3x^2 +10x +11 Then: 3x^2 +10x +11 = 2 -2x -x^2 So it follows that: 4x^2 +12x +9 = 0 Using the quadratic equation formula: x = -3/2 and x also = -3/2 Therefore by substitution the point of contact is at: (-3/2, 11/4)
