Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working clearly in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Solve for x and y:
x + y = 7
x^2 - y^2 = 20
[4 marks]2.
Find the values of x and y satisfying:
2x + y = 10
y = x^2 - 4
[4 marks]3.
Evaluate and solve:
x^2 + 3x = 4x + 5
[2 marks]4.
Construct a quadratic equation with roots at x=2 and x=4, and a linear equation that intersects it at one point. Write their equations.
[3 marks]5.
Solve the system:
x^2 - y = 3
y = 2x + 1
[4 marks]6.
A rectangle's length is given by y = 2x + 3, and its width by y = x^2 - 4. Find the points where the rectangle's length and width are equal.
[3 marks]7.
Solve for x and y:
x + y = 12
x^2 + y^2 = 85
[4 marks]8.
A quadratic equation is y = x^2 + 2x + 1. Find the point of intersection with the line y = -x + 4.
[4 marks]9.
An algebraic problem involves solving:
x^2 + 5x = 14
x + y = 7
[4 marks]10.
Identify and correct the mistake in solving the system:
x + y = 6
x^2 - y^2 = 12
Common mistake:
Solution: x=4, y=2
[3 marks]11.
Challenge: Find all solutions to the system:
x^2 + y^2 = 25
2x + y = 10
