Question 470209: Find the x-coordinates of the three points of intersection of the curve with the line , expressing non-integer values in the form , where a and b are integers.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solving for the x-coordinates of the three points of intersection:
<==>
<==>
Have to solve x - 2 = 0, and
The first equation has root x = 2.
The second equation has roots x = , by direct use of the quadratic formula.
