Intersection Points
« on: August 16, 2010, 02:05:37 PM »
Hello Jane,

       I have a question in Chapter 12. When you say the maximum number of intersecting points by connecting these n points, what do you mean by intersection point? Could you give an example? Thanks.

Hello Joe,

Thank you for your post.

Intersection point means the point formed when two lines intersect each other.

What algebraic method could I use to find the points of intersection of 2x2 - 3x  2 and the fifth root of x.

Where did you get this problem?

Its part of a problem on integration. I have the whole question answered, I even know the two points of intersection from a graphical calculator but I cant find them algebraically.

HUH?
What is 2x2 - 3x  22 ?

Where are you getting this from 2x2 - 3x  22? Its should be 2x2 - 3x  25
