First impressions of yr 11 (3 Viewers)

Haha we kinda just skipped that chapter =P I had double maths today, wasn't too bad.

Can someone help me with this:

Form a pair of simultaneous equations and solve them to find x and y, given that they are rational.


I've completely forgotten simultaneous eqns.

x-3 = -1 > Equation 1
Sqr root (y+2) = Sqr root (5) > Equation 2

Then you square both sides for equation 2 to find y?

EDIT: x = 2, y = 3

 

[RivalryofTroll]

x-3+sqrt(y+2)=-1+sqrt(5)
=>x-3=-1 and y+2=5
Hence, x=2, y=3

Dam, beat me to it!

Well thankyou for helping me as well!

Oh and I finally bought skyrim and it arrived in the mail today =P I'm really excited but I'm making myself do all my homework.. haha

 

[Normy]

lol have fun, great game.

 

[RealiseNothing]

Haven't you accelerated though?

It's a weird story.

My school's time table only had room to allow me to do either 3U or 4U a year ahead, so I chose 4U and did 3U at home by myself.

I've already done circle geo before, was just mentioning that's what my class started off with.

 

[premskies]

I know exactly what you mean.

 

[RivalryofTroll]

I know exactly what you mean.

:/
You guys started off with Chapter 4 right off the bat, while we are still doing Chapter 1 :/
But I think Chapter 1 is quite important (despite, the easiness usually) because having good algebra in 3U is SO important...
Chapter 1 (Algebra) is the best starting topic for good foundation! (You need top-notch algebra in 3U)

So far, I've gotten absolutely no homework in maths. The teacher says "just go at your own pace," so i just do nothing...

The reason I done general, even though im laughing at how easy it is, I won't be laughing when the scaling bites me in the ass :/

Wait until Novemeber comes around and you'll be wondering where on earth the year went. Trust me, it'll fly by
