Quadratics- simultaneous equations
32 xxy
Simultaneous equations can be used to find the point (if any) of intersection of a curve and a straight line.
The most common method is to rearrange one of the equations, substitute it into the second, and solve the resulting equation formed.
Solve the simultaneous equations
Show that the same result can be achieved by two different methods
Thinking of a graphical solution, and giving examples, explain how many roots would be possible for sets of such simultaneous equations.

Sometimes equations which are not quadratic may be changed into quadratic equations by making a suitable substitution.
Solve the equation:

It is always important to check solutions to such equations. Replacing t with x2 has created additional roots which do not satisfy the original equation.

What now?Additional readings:Look at the Peter Powers Party activity on Blackboard
Read the article from Mathematics Teacher for a very interesting ‘collaborative planning’ session by three teachers.
But now, Activity 3:Test your skills by making the quadratics practice exercises (on blackboard). Self-check with answers, and ask questions.(Every 10 minutes or so I’ll try to wrap up, and provide explanations if necessary)

Understanding and skillsActivity 4Log in to Integral and make a start on your subject knowledge by working through the Additional maths materials (Quadratics). Once you are happy with the content of each section you can take the online multiple choice test.http://integralmaths.org/
(Another useful resource is on http://www.fi.uu.nl/dwo/soton/ . You can register, login, look at instruction but above all, practice, now with the opportunity to enter in-between steps.)
Activity 5Make a start on Developing Deep understanding in Algebra to hand in to me on 19th November.
