Hi
Sorry to bug you again. It's about simualtaneous equations again. The question is:
Solve the simualtaneous equations
x^2 - 4y^2 = 24
x + 2y = 6
When I posted this b4 I didnt understand how number like 36 and 12y^2 were obtained, so could you explain please?
BTW, I know the answers are
x = 5
y = 0.5
I just dont understand how you get there.
Sorry to ask again!
Thank-you!

Read my solution on the second page of your other post. If things still aren't clear, ask again for help.

You know that x+2y=6 therefor x=6-2y sub into x^2-4y^2=24 to get
(6-2y)^2-4y^2=24
expand to get:
36-24y+4y^2-4y^2-24=0
12-24Y=0 therefore Y=0.5, sub Y=0.5 into x+2y=6 therefore X=5.
(1) x^2 - 4y^2 = 24
(2) x + 2y = 6
x = 6 - 2y
so into equation (1)
(6 - 2y)^2 - 4y^2 = 24
(36 - 24y +4y^2) - 4y^2 = 24
get together all the terms
36 - 24y = 24 ==>(the +4y^2 and -4y^2 cancel out)
so -24y = 24 - 36 = -12
so 24y = 12
therefore y 0.5
put y = 0.5 into (2) x + (2*0.5) = 6
x + 1 = 6
so x = 5
x = 5
y = 0.5
(2) x + 2y = 6
x = 6 - 2y
so into equation (1)
(6 - 2y)^2 - 4y^2 = 24
(36 - 24y +4y^2) - 4y^2 = 24
get together all the terms
36 - 24y = 24 ==>(the +4y^2 and -4y^2 cancel out)
so -24y = 24 - 36 = -12
so 24y = 12
therefore y 0.5
put y = 0.5 into (2) x + (2*0.5) = 6
x + 1 = 6
so x = 5
x = 5
y = 0.5

Are you sure you get simultaneous equations that are quadratic? I thought at GCSE level they where linear equations?
These Simultaneous Equations are AS Level Pure 1..
Bhaal85
That is what I thought, but the thread starter said they had a GCSE mock, surely this wont be on it?
linear simultaneous equations ddint even turn up on my gcse exam....but yes, these harder quad. ones r AS Level pure 1
Bhaal85
Its not hard.
well obviously, i meant "harder than linear which is extremely easy"
bono
well obviously, i meant "harder than linear which is extremely easy"
this is not of pure 1 standard since the quadratics cancel out.... so it's still linear in a sense.... all you do is substitute in and square out, which i'm sure GCSE maths pupils are capable of doing... the quadratics are just there to scare people off.

lol - maths does well in scaring people.

No they're not because the squared terms cancel.
i wasnt really looking, sorry.
yes, they do cancel out........
but if it came up on P1 Exam, i wouldnt mind!!
Bhaal85
The only topic I have ever found slighlty hard at P1 was Transformations, and Transformations of trig functions. Pain.
i hate transofrmations, not hard, but its just tedious...

Ok simple question:
Y=x^3 is transformed firstly by a stretch on the x-axis by S.F 3 and translated by
(0)
(-3)
What is the result of the transformation?

What is the result of the transformation?
If I remember correctly...
Stretch on the x-axis by a factor of 3, means that:
(1,1) ==> (3, 1)
So x ==> x/3
Translated:
x stays the same
y ==> y + 3
y + 3 = (x/3)^3
y = (x/3)^3 - 3
Was I close?

Yep, you where right.
I didn't realise you could tackle it that way. I just did it this way:(1/3 times X)^3 - 3 = (X/3)^3 - 3
