How many common points have the curve entities?2x-y+1=0 and x^2+x-y+1=0

We notice that the curve entities are a line and a
parabola. We'll re-write their equations:


y = 2x + 1, line
equation


y =x^2 + x + 1, parabola
equation


The common points, which are located on the line
and parabola in the same time, are the intercepting points of the line and
parabola.


So, the y coordinate of the point verify the
equation of the line and the equation of the parabola, in the same
time.


2x+1=x^2+x+1


We'll move
all term to the left side and we'll combine like
terms:


x^2-x=0


We'll factorize
by x:


x*(x-1)=0


We'll put each
factor as
zero:


x=0


x-1=0


We'll
add 1 both
sides:


 x=1


Now,
we'll substitute the value of x in the equation of the line, because it is much more
easier to determine
y.


y=2x+1


x=0


y=2*0+1,
y=1


So the first pair of coordinates of crossing point:
A(0,1) 


x=1


y=2*1+1=3


So
the second pair of coordinates of crossing point:
B(1,3).


So, there are 2 common points and
they are: (0,1) and (1,3).

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
