The question, in short

Find where the line 4x + y = 9 meets the curve y + x² = 5, showing all working.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Solution · 5 marks

  1. 1y = 9 − 4x and y = 5 − x²
  2. 29 − 4x = 5 − x²
  3. 3x² − 4x + 4 = 0, (x − 2)² = 0, x = 2
  4. 4y = 9 − 4 × 2 = 1
  5. 5(2, 1)
