Question 824702: plz help me to find out the points of intersection of parabolas y^2=4x and x^2=64y
Answer by jsmallt9(3758) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Substitution Method:
1. Solve one equation for one of the variables.
Solving the first equation for x (by dividing each side by 4:
2. Substitute for the solved-for variable in the other equation:
(y^2/4)^2 = 64y
3. Solve the one-variable equation:
Multiply by 16 to eliminate the fraction:
Subtract 1024y (to get a zero on one side):
Factor out the GCF of y:
Zero Product Property:
or
Solving the second equation...
or
or
4. Use the solution(s) to the one-variable equation to find the solution(s) for the other variable:
For y = 0:
so x = 0, making (0, 0) a point of intersection.
For
making (, ) a second point of intersection. Here's a graph to illustrate:
