 Problem 9 – B & C (Cont…)
By completing squares
4y2 – 20y + 25 = 29 + 25
(2y – 5)2 = 54
Then,

when x = 4.233, y = -1.174

2
0
when x = 1.767, y = -1.174
2y – 5 = ± 7.35
y(+) = 6.17 Therefore, the point of intersection is:
y(-) = -1.174

When y=6.17
x2 – 6x + 3(6.17) +11 = 0
x2 – 6x + 9 = -29.51 + 9
(x-3)2 = -20.51

(4.233, -1.174) and (1.767, -1.174)
C. Distance between the two points of
intersection.

0
x is complex
Distance = 4.233 – 1.767
When y=(-)1.174
x2 – 6x + 3(-1.174) +11 = 0 Distance = 2.466
x2 – 6x + 9 = -7.478 + 9
(x-3)2 = 1.522
x = 4.233
x = 1.767
