Find the point(s) of intersection of the line x - y = -6 and the circle x2 + y2 = 18 by solving the system of equations.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "x - y = -6
\n" ); document.write( "y = x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + y^2 = 18
\n" ); document.write( "sub for y
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (x+6)^2 = 18
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 + 12x + 36 = 18
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 6x + 9 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation \"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"1x%5E2%2B6x%2B9+=+0\") has the following solutons:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " For these solutions to exist, the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\" should not be a negative number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " First, we need to compute the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\": \"b%5E2-4ac=%286%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A9=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=0 is zero! That means that there is only one solution: \"x+=+%28-%286%29%29%2F2%5C1\".
\n" ); document.write( " Expression can be factored: \"1x%5E2%2B6x%2B9+=+%28x--3%29%2A%28x--3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Again, the answer is: -3, -3.\n" ); document.write( "Here's your graph:
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+1%2Ax%5E2%2B6%2Ax%2B9+%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "================
\n" ); document.write( "There are always 2 solutions to a quadratic.
\n" ); document.write( "For this one, they are x = -3 and x = -3.
