The line y = x + 2 intersects the curve 4y + 3x^2 = 7 in two places.
a) Find the coordinates of the two points of intersections.
>Sub. y = x + 2 to 4y + 3x^2 = 7
>4(x+2) + 3x^2 = 7
>4x + 8 + 3x^2 -7 = 0
>3x^2 + 4x -1 = 0
>x = -1 and - 1/3
>y = x + 2
>so y = 1 or 5/3
The straight line y = f(x) has gradient 3 and intersects the curve 4y + 3x^2 = 7 at one point only.
b) Find f(x).
>?
c) Hence find the coordinates of the point of intersection between y = f(x) and 4y + 3x^2 =7
