Algebra.Com's Answer #134033 by HyperBrain(694)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=x^4-3x³ and y=2x-6\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Replace the y in the first equation by 2x-6\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x-6=x4-3x3 \n" ); document.write( "x4-3x3-2x+6=0 \n" ); document.write( "(x4-3x3)-(2x-6)=0 \n" ); document.write( "x3(x-3)-2(x-3)=0 \n" ); document.write( "(x3-2)(x-3) \n" ); document.write( "Let x-3=0, then x=3 \n" ); document.write( "Let x3-2=0, then x=cube root of 2>>get calculator... i lost mine\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, we have the x-coordinates of the two intersections. To find the corresponding y-coordinates, use y=2x-6.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, \n" ); document.write( "if x=3, y=2(3)-6=6-6=0 \n" ); document.write( "if x=2*(cube root of 2)-6>>please! calculator again....\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the points of intersections are (3,0) and (cube root of 2, 2*(cube root of 2)-6)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Power up, \n" ); document.write( "HyperBrain!\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Stop this mess! http://uselessplastic.wordpress.com/ \n" ); document.write( "http://uselessplastic.multiply.com/ \n" ); document.write( " |
