Q. Solve the system of equations.y=20x−34y=x2+12x−18Write the coordinates in exact form. Simplify all fractions and radicals.(______,______)
Set Equations Equal: We have the system of equations:y=20x−34y=x2+12x−18To find the intersection points, set the two equations equal to each other.20x−34=x2+12x−18
Rearrange and Identify Quadratic: Rearrange the equation to set it to zero and identify the quadratic equation.20x−34−x2−12x+18=0−x2+8x−16=0
Multiply by −1: Multiply the entire equation by −1 to make the x2 term positive.x2−8x+16=0
Factor Quadratic Equation: Factor the quadratic equation.The factors of 16 that add up to 8 are 4 and 4, so the factored form is:(x−4)(x−4)=0
Solve for x: Solve for x.Since both factors are the same, we only have one solution for x:x−4=0x=4
Find Corresponding y-Value: Find the corresponding y-value by substituting x=4 into one of the original equations.Using y=20x−34:y=20(4)−34y=80−34y=46
Write Coordinates: Write the coordinates in exact form.Since we only have one solution for x, there is only one intersection point.The coordinates of the intersection point are (4,46).
