At what points does the straight line y = 2x + 1 intersect the curve y = \(2x^2\) + 5x - 1?
line = y = 2x + 1, curve = y = \(2x^2\) + 5x - 1
2x + 1 = \(2x^2\) + 5x - 1
\(2x^2\) + 3x - 2 = 0
factorizing
(2x - 1)( x + 2) = 0
x = 1/2 or -2
when x = 1/2
y = 2 * 1/2 + 1 = 2 ( using the equation of a straight line )
when x = -2, y = -3
therefore, the points are ( 1/2, 2) and ( -2, -3)
