Exit ticket · Simultaneous Equations (Linear & Quadratic)
- Solve the simultaneous equations $$\begin{aligned} y &= x^2 \\ y &= 3x - 2 \end{aligned}$$ Give the smaller of the two $x$-coordinates.
- The graph shows the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 13$ (radius about 3.6) and the line $y = -x + 1$.The line meets the circle at two points.
Use the graph to find the smaller of the two $x$-coordinates of these points. - The line $y = -6x + k$ is a tangent to the curve $y = x^2 - 1$.
Work out the value of $k$.
