Equation of line: x +y = -0.25 or x +y = -1/4
Equation of curve: y = x^2
If: x +y = -1/4 then y = -1/4 -x
If: y = x^2 then x^2 = -1/4 -x or 4x^2 = -1 -4x
Transposing terms: 4x^2 +4x +1 = 0
Factorizing the above: (2x+1)(2x+1) = 0 meaning x = -1/2
Therefore by substitution solutions are: x = -1/2 and y = 1/4
Equations: 3x-2y = 1 and 3x^2 -2y^2 +5 = 0 By combining the equations into one single quadratic equation and solving it the points of contact are made at (3, 4) and (-1, -2)
(2, -2)
If: y = kx+1 is a tangent to the curve y^2 = 8x Then k must equal 2 for the discriminant to equal zero when the given equations are merged together to equal zero.
It is (-0.3, 0.1)
k = 0.1
The two solutions are (x, y) = (-0.5, -sqrt(3.5)) and (-0.5, sqrt(3.5))
Combine the equations together and using the quadratic equation formula it works out that the point of contact is at (5/8, 5/2)
If you mean the coordinates of the line x-y = 2 that intersects the curve of x2-4y2 = 5 Then the coordinates work out as: (3, 1) and (7/3, 1/3)
If: y = x^2 -10x +13 and y = x^2 -4x +7 Then: x^2 -10x +13 = x^2 -4x +7 Transposing terms: -6x +6 = 0 => -6x = -6 => x = 1 Substituting the value of x into the original equations point of contact is at: (1, 4)
They work out as: (-3, 1) and (2, -14)
The line x-y = 2 intersects with the curve x^2 -4y^2 = 5 at (2.5, 1/3) and (3, 1) and by using the distance formula its length is 5/6
It works out that line 3x-y = 5 makes contact with the curve 2x^2 +y^2 = 129 at (52/11, 101/11) and (-2, -11)
