To determine the intercepting point of the line and parabola,
we'll have to solve the system:
2x^2 - y =
7 (1)
2x + y = 1 (2)
We'll calculate x
form the 2nd equation:
2x = 1 - y
x =
(1-y)/2
We'll substitute x in
(1):
2*(1-y)^2/4 - y = 7
(1-y)^2/2 - y
= 7
We'll multiply by 2 both
sides:
(1-y)^2 - 2y - 14 = 0
We'll
expand the square:
1 - 2y + y^2 - 2y - 14 =
0
We'll combine like terms and we'll re-arrange the
terms:
y^2 - 4y - 13 = 0
We'll apply
the quadratic:
y1=[4+sqrt(16+52)]/2
y1
= 2 + sqrt17
y2 = 2 - sqrt17
x1 =
(1-y1)/2
x1 = (-1-sqrt17)/2
x2 =
(-1+sqrt17)/2
The intercepting points
are:
((-1-sqrt17)/2 , 2 + sqrt17) and
((-1+sqrt17)/2 , 2 - sqrt17).
