x-3y-27=0\\
y^2=4x\\\\
x-3y-27=0\\
x=\frac{y^2}{4}\\\\
\frac{y^2}{4}-3y-27=0\\
y^2-12y-108=0\\
y^2-12y+36-144=0\\
(y-6)^2=144\\
y-6=-12 \vee y-6=12\\
y=-6 \vee y=18\\\\
x=\frac{(-6)^2}{4} \vee x=\frac{18^2}{4}\\
x=\frac{36}{4} \vee x=\frac{324}{4}\\
x=9 \vee x=81\\\\
\boxed{(9,-6),(81,18)}

First, rearrange the first equation:

3y = x - 27
y = x/3 - 9

Square this equation to make y^2 the subject:

y^2 = (x/3 - 9)^2 = (x/3 - 9)(x/3 - 9) = (x^2)/9 - 3x - 3x + 81 = (x^2)/9 - 6x + 81

Now you can substitute this for y^2 in the second equation, then rearrange into the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0:

(x^2)/9 - 6x + 81 = 4x
(x^2)/9 - 10x + 81 = 0
x^2 - 90x + 729 = 0

Factorise the equation, then equate to zero and zolve:

(x - 9)(x - 81) = 0

x - 9 = 0 --> x = 9
x - 81 = 0 --> x = 81

Using these x values, find the corresponding y values:

y^2 = 4x ∴ y = <span>√4x
When x = 9, y = </span>√(4*9) = √36 = <span>±6
When x = 81, y = </span>√(4*81) = √324 = ±18

Now we need to test whether each y co-ordinate is positive or negative:

When x = 9 and y = 6: x - 3y - 27 = 9 - 18 - 27 <span>≠ 0
When x = 9 and y = -6: x - 3y - 27 = 9 + 18 - 27 = 0

When x = 81 and y = 18: x - 3y - 27 = 81 - 54 - 27 = 0
When x = 81 and y = -18: x - 3y - 27 = 81 + 54 - 27 </span><span>≠</span> 0

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the points of intersection are (9, -6) and (81, 18)

Can someone explain y-intercept? I had a test, and I am pretty sure I bombed it. I really need help!!
Dvinal [7]

Y-intercept, it can be described as y-intercept form, or another way of writing it in mathematical form is y=mx+b, this can be used to draw polygons, find ortho-centers (very difficult), etc. m is the rise/run, rise over run, or 1/2.  The rise and the run is the rate of change.  b is the starting point or slope where it starts at, that is most of it!

100 points. Easy question. <br><br> Topic: Fractions.<br><br> ONLY COMPLETE QUESTION 1
Basile [38]

Answer: 1/4 full.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for how much gas will be left in the tank after 2/3 of the gas in the tank is used.

There is currently 3/4 of the tank remaining.

To find 2/3 of 3/4, you can multiply the fractions together.

Do this by multiplying both numerators and both denominators:

\frac{2}{3} *\frac{3}{4} = \frac{2*3}{3*4} = \frac{6}{12}

Then, subtract 6/12 from 3/4. You can do this by simplifying the first fraction to 2/4 (divide both the numerator and denominator by 3).

3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4

There will be 1/4 of the tank left.
