Hey everyone, I'm Wu =) Nice to meet you
Currently studying math, sorry if my english is bad.
I am Wu Zhong Lan.
I am 18 years old =)
I am puzzled with some questions.
Questions:
3 equations xy = 1 x^2 + y^2 = 1 x^2 + y^2 = 4
In surd form, show the 4 intersections of the last graphs with the first.
I am puzzled to where to start :S
Thank you =)
Re: Hey everyone, I'm Wu =) Nice to meet you
Well, an obvious start would be to draw the graphs since that is what is asked. Or you could solve as pairs of equations. The graphs of
and
intersect when both equations are satisfied. From xy= 1, y= 1/x so the second equation is
. Multiplying both sides of that by
gives
. Let
and that becomes
or
. Can you solve that quadratic equation?
The graphs of
and
intersect where both equations are satisfied. Do the same as above.
