Cubic Equation (1 Viewer)

[Whovian99]

Hey Guys!

So for these two equations:

y=80-x^2
y=20-(162.5/x)

Other than graphically, is there a way to solve this algebraically? And if there is, how do I do it?

Thanks!

Well, there is the cubic formula....

But no, there is no way to solve the given system of equations using HSC techniques and knowledge.

Have you learnt the rational roots theorem?

No, could you explain it to me?

Find the x and y intercepts and graph it in the form of a cubic equation
