Find the intersection

Question

y = x2

y = 6x-1

Answer 1

x^2 - 6x + 1 = 0

x = 6/2 + or - (1/2)sqr(36 -4) = 3 + or - .5sqr32 = about or .2 or 5.8

y = .04 or 33.8

solution is (x,y) = (.2, .04) or (5.8, .33.8)

roughly, with rounding errors and approximations

graph the parabola and line. they intersect twice
