Intersection of Two Straight Lines


Two lines will intersect at a point. The point will have a pair of values as (x1, y1). The straight lines are represented by equation with two or one variable in x and y.  If those equations are solved to get the value of x and y, will represent the point intersection of those two lines. To solve the set of lines to get the value of x and y , we can use either the method of elimination or substitution. Now let us discuss few problems on this topic intersection of two straight lines.

Example Problems on Intersection of Two Straight Lines

Ex 1: Find the point of intersection of the following two lines

2x + 3y = 10; 2x + y = 6.

Sol: Given: 2x + 3y = 10 --------------(1)

2x + y = 6  --------------(2)

The point intersection of above two lines can be obtained by solving them as follows:

(1) – (2) implies: 2x + 3y = 10

2x + y = 6

We get, 2y = 4

y = 2.

From (2), 2x + (2) = 6

2x = 6 – 2 = 4

2x = 4

x = 2.

Therefore, the point of intersection is (2, 2).

Ex 2: Find the point of intersection of the following two lines

x + 2y = 1; 5x + 4y = -7.

Sol: Given: x + 2y = 1 ------------------(1)

5x + 4y = -7 -----------------(2)

The point of intersection of above two lines can be obtained by solving the as follows:

(1) x 5 – (2) implies: 5x + 10y = 5

5x + 4y = -7

We get, 6y = 12

y = 2.

Therefore, from (1), x + 2(2) = 1

Implies, x = 1 – 4 = -3.

Therefore the point of intersection is (-3, 2).

Ex 3: Find the point of intersection of the following two lines

3x + y = 10; y = 7.

Sol: Given: 3x + y = 10 -------------(1)

y = 7 -----------(2)

Since, y = 7 is one of the line, the value of the y coordinate will be 7.

Therefore, from (1), we get , 3x + 7 = 10

3x = 10 – 7 = 3

x = 1.

Therefore, the point of intersection is ( 1, 7).

Solving Binomials by Factoring


Introduction: 

In algebra, the polynomials which have two terms are called binomials. To factor binomials, we need to follow the following methods:

(i) 2a + ab = a(2 + b ) [ Here the given expression has two terms, where a is the common value]    
     = a( 2 + b)         
(ii) a2 – b2 = ( a + b) ( a – b)   [ This is the standard form]
(iii) (a + b)2 = ( a + b)(a +b)
(iv) (a - b)2 = ( a - b)(a - b)

Product of two polynomials will give three terms.
( a + b)2 = ) a2 +b2 + 2ab
( a - b)2 = ) a2 +b2 - 2ab

Let us see few problems on this topic solving binomials by factoring.

Example Problems on Solving Binomials by Factoring

Ex 1: Solve (x + 3) (x – 4) = 0

Soln: Given: (x + 3) (x – 4) = 0
This implies: x + 3 = 0 or x – 4 = 0
That is : x = -3, 4.
Therefore the solution is { -3, 4}.

Ex 2: Solve x + y = 7 and xy = 12, find x and y.

Soln: Given : x + y = 7 -----------(1)
                            xy = 12 ---------(2)
Therefore, x – y = sqrt [(x+y)2 – 4xy]
                             = sqrt[ 72 – 4(12)]
                             = 1
Therefore, x – y = 1 ---------------(3)
From (1) and (3), we get:
x + y = 7 -----------(1)
x – y = 1 -----------(3)
2x = 8, this implies that x = 4.
Therefore, (1) implies 4 + y = 7
Hence y =3.
Therefore the solution is {4,3}.

Ex 3: Solve x - y = 5 and xy = 24, find the value of x + y.

Soln: x + y = sqrt [(x-y)2 + 4xy]
                   = sqrt[ 52 – 4(24)]
                   = 11.
Therefore from, x + y = 11
                             x – y = 5,
We get 2x = 16.
Therefore, x = 8.
Hence from x + y = 11. y = 3.
Therefore the solution is { 8, 3}.

Ex 4: Solve x + y = 11 and xy = 24, find the value of x2 – y2.

Soln: x – y = sqrt [(x+y)2 – 4xy]
                   = sqrt[ 112 – 4(24)]
                   = 5
Therefore, x2 – y2 = ( x + y )( x – y)
                             = 11 x 5 = 55.

Practice Problems on Solving Binomials by Factoring

1. If a + b = 9  and ab = 36, find a - b
[Ans: a – b = 5]

2. If a – b = 4 and ab = 12, find a2 – b2.
[Ans: a2 – b2 = 32]

Graph of Sinx

 The coordinate graph is called the Cartesian coordinate plane. The graph contains a couple of the vertical lines are called coordinate axes. The vertical axis of the y axis value and the horizontal axis value is the x axis value. The points of the intersection of those two axes values are called the origin of coordinate graphing pictures.  The trigonometry graph is a sin or cos waves. In this graph equation is in the form of y = mx + c. m is nothing but a sin or cos. In this article we shall discuss graph of sin x.

                              2sin 3x = y                                   
In the above equation we put x = -4 we get
           y = 2sin 3(-4)
           y = 1
In the above equation we put x = -3 we get
            y = 2sin 3(-3)

Multiply Complex Numbers


The complex number consists of imaginary part and real part is defined as the complex number.

The complex number is written the form x + yi where x and y are real numbers and i is defined as the imaginary unit.

The normal numbers in the complex numbers is extended by using extra numbers.

The complex numbers are used in quantum physics, engineering and applied mathematics.

Multiply Complex Number:

Multiplication: (a + bi)(c + di) = (ac - bd) + (bc + ad)i

Examples on Multiply Complex Numbers:

Example 1:

Solve (2 + 2i)(5 + 3i)

Solution:

The multiplication of the complex numbers in the arithmetic form is given as,

(2 + 2i)(5 + 3i) = 10 + 6i + 10i + 6i^2

= 10 + 16i - 6   { Since i^2  = -1 }

= 4 + 16i.

The complex number multiplication answer is 4 + 16i.

Example 2:

Solve

(3 + 7i)(4 + 3i)

Multiplication of the complex number in algebraic form is given as,

(3 + 7i)(4 + 3i) = 12 + 9i + 28i + 21i^2

= 12 + 37i - 21

= -9 + 37i.

These are examples of multiplication of complex numbers.

Hence the complex number multiplications answer is -9+37i.

Example 3:

Solve

(4 + 7i)(3 + 3i)

Multiplication of the complex number in algebraic form is given as,

(4 + 7i)(3 + 3i) = 12 + 21i + 12i + 21i^2

= 12 + 33i - 21

= -9 + 33i.

These are examples of multiplication of complex numbers.

Hence the complex number multiplications answer is -9+33i.

Example 4:

Solve

(4 + 3i)(3 + 7i)

Multiplication of the complex number in algebraic form is given as,

(4 + 3i)(3 + 7i) = 12 + 9i + 28i + 21i^2

= 12 + 37i - 21

= -9 + 37i.

These are examples of multiplication of complex numbers.

Hence the complex number multiplications answer is -9+37i.

Example 5:

Solve

(2 + 5i)(4 + 6i)

Multiplication of the complex number in algebraic form is given as,

(2 + 5i)(4 + 6i) = 8 + 20i + 12i + 30i^2

= 8 + 32i - 30

= -28 + 32i.

These are examples of multiplication of complex numbers.

Hence the complex number multiplications answer is -28+32i.

Practice Algebra Calculus


Just as algebra introduces students to new ways of thinking about arithmetic problems (by way of variables, equations, functions and graphs), calculus may be seen as introducing new ways of thinking about algebra problems.

A branch of mathematics, algebra calculus  mainly deals with derivatives, integrals, limits, infinite series, differential equations, and functions, is called calculus. It is used for computing rate of change of velocity and rate of change of acceleration, the slope of a curve, and optimization

Types of Calculus and Problems in Algebra Problems:


Calculus can be classified into two major types as follows

Differential calculus
Integral calculus

Ex 1: Compute the values of Δy and dy if y = f(x) = x^3 + x^2 − 2x + 1  where x changes (i) from 2 to 2.05 and (ii) from 2 to 2.01

Sol :    (i) We have f(2) = 2^3 + 2^2 − 2(2) + 1 = 9

f(2.05) = (2.05)^3 + (2.05)^2 − 2(2.05) + 1 = 9.717625.

And Δy = f(2.05) − f(2) = 0.717625.

In general dy = f ′(x) dx = (3x^2 + 2x − 2)dx

When x = 2, dx = Δx = 0.05 and dy = [(3(2)^2+2(2)−2] 0.05 = 0.7

(ii) f(2.01) = (2.01)^3 − (2.01)^2 − 2(2.01) + 1 = 9.140701

Δy = f(2.01) − f(2) = 0.140701

When dx = Δx = 0.01, dy = [3(2)^2 + 2(2) − 2]0.01 = 0.14

Remark :   The approximation Δy ≈ dy becomes better as Δx becomes smaller . Also dy was easier than to compute Δy. For more complicatedfunctions it may be impossible to compute Δy exactly. In such cases theapproximation by calculus is especially useful.
Example 2 Algebra Calculus Problems:

Ex 2 :  Use differentials to find an approximate value for

`root(3)65` .

Let y = f(x) =`3sqrtx`=x.^1/3 Then dy =1/3x ^-2/3 dx

Since f(64) = 4. We take x = 64 and dx = Δx = 1

This gives dy =1/3 (64) ^−2/3 (1)

=1/3(16)       = 1/48

365      = f(64 + 1) ≈ f(64) + dy = 4 +1/48

≈ 4.021

Practice Problems

Pro 1:    If f(x) = x^4, then find f'(x)

Sol :              f(x) = x^4

f'(x) = 4x^3

Pro 2:    If f(x) = 5x3^ + 2x^2, then find f'(x).

Sol :              f(x) = 5x^3 + 2x^2

f'(x) = 15x^2 + 4x

Pro 3:   x7  dx  =  (x^7+1) / (7 + 1) + c

Sol :                   = x^8/8 + c

Multiplication Problems

Introduction to multiplication problems:
Multiplication – It is a repeated addition.
For example 2 * 3 = 6 this is nothing but 2+2+2 = 6 or 3+ 3 =6
The order of multiplication problems does not affect the answer.The answer will not be changed even though the performing order changed.
Distribution in multiplication problems 
            To multiply 4(10+5), we multiply 4*10 and 4*5, adding the result. Thus,
                             4(10+5) = (4*10) + (4*5)
                                           =40+20
                                           =60
This is nothing but the distributive property of multiplication.
It will be easy to do multiplication if we are well known with multiplication tables.
When we multiply two numbers, there is no matter which number is first or second but the answer will be same.
