The lines y = 3x² - x + 5/2 intersects the line y = x/2 +7 at two points. Give their coordinates. Show your working

y= 3x2 -x +5/2 = 0.5 x +76x2 -2x +5 = x+146x2 - 3x -9 = 0 = 2x2 - x -3(2x-3)(x+1) = 0 x = -1 or x = 1.5y = 6.5 or y = 7.75

The air pressure in the cabin of a passenger plane is modelled by the equation: P(x) = 3cos(x/2) - sin(x/2) where x is the altitude. Express P(x) in the form Rcos(x/2 +z) where z is acute and in degrees and then find the maximum pressure


A circle has equation: (x - 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 16. It intersects the y-axis (y > 0) at point P and the x-axis (x < 0) at point Q. Find the equation of the line connecting P and Q and of the line perpendicular to PQ passing through the circle's centre.
