8.2 Problems Leading to Quadratic Equations
Strategy for Solving Word Problems
1. Read the problem carefully – understand the problem; know what is given and what is to be found. If appropriate, draw figures or diagrams and label both known and unknown parts.
2. Let one of the unknown quantities be represented by a variable, say x, and try to represent all other unknown quantities in terms of x.
3. Set up an equation.
4. Solve the equation.
5. Check and interpret all solutions in the context of the originalproblem – not just for the equation found in Step 3.

A. Solving Simultaneous Equations by Graphical Method
8.4 Graphical Solutions of Simultaneous Equations
Solutions of two simultaneous equations are the solutions that satisfy both equations.
When solving a pair of simultaneous equations in two unknowns in which one
is linear and one is quadratic, we can draw the graph of each equation in the
same Cartesian coordinate plane.
The point(s) of intersection of the two graphs will give the solution(s) of the
two equations. However, they are only approximate solutions.

B. Number of Points of Intersection of a Parabola and a Line
8.4 Graphical Solutions of Simultaneous Equations
To solve a pair of simultaneous equations in which one is linear and the other is quadratic (in the form y = ax2 + bx + c, where a ≠ 0) by graphical method, the graphs of the parabola and the straight line may:
Case 1 : intersect at two distinct points, indicating that there are two different
solutions; orCase 2 : touch each other at one point only, indicating that there is only one
solution; or
Case 3 : have no intersections, indicating that there are no real solutions.

8.4 Graphical Solutions of Simultaneous Equations
Without the actual drawing of the graphs, the number of points of intersectionof the two graphs can be determined algebraically by the following steps:
Step 1 : Use the method of substitution to eliminate one of the unknowns (either x or y) of the simultaneous equations. We can then obtain a quadratic equation in one unknown.
Step 2 : Evaluate the discriminant (Δ) of the quadratic equation obtained
in Step 1.
• If Δ > 0, then there are two points of intersection.
• If Δ = 0, then there is only one point of intersection.
• If Δ < 0, then there are no intersections.

Without solving the simultaneous equations algebraically, find the numberof points of intersection of the parabola y = 2x2 and the straight line y = 3x + 5.

8.5 More about Graphical Methods in Solving Simultaneous Equations
When we are given a graph of quadratic function such as y = x2, we can use it to solve any quadratic equation graphically such as x2 – x – 2 = 0 by the following procedures:
Step 1 : Write the equation as x2 = x + 2.
Step 2 : Hence, we can write this quadratic equation as two simultaneousequations ( one linear and one quadratic ) in two unknowns x and y,namely y = x2 and y = x + 2.
Step 3 : Draw the graphs of the two simultaneous equations in the same
Cartesian coordinate plane. The x-coordinates of their pointsof intersection will give the solutions of the quadratic equation x2 – x – 2 = 0.
