MHB Solve Simultaneous Equations y=2x²+3x-31 & y=21-2x

AI Thread Summary
To solve the simultaneous equations y=2x²+3x-31 and y=21-2x, equate the right-hand sides to find x. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the calculations rather than simply receiving the answer. A suggestion was made to work through the problem independently for better learning. Participants encourage engagement with the problem to enhance comprehension. Ultimately, solving these equations requires careful substitution and algebraic manipulation.

I have moved this topic as it is a better fit here in the Pre-Algebra and Algebra sub-forum.

The suggestion given by Evgeny.Makarov is an excellent one, and you should be able to make at least some progress with it. If he does it for you, you will learn less than if you attempt it yourself. :D

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
