Hello, I am wondering if someone can help with part b on this. I'm not sure where to start with it
The position of an animal on a two dimensional map can be described by its x, y coordinates. You are given that the path of a lion can be described by the equation y = a × x + b. Similarly the path of a deer can be described by the equation y = c × x2 + d × x + e. Note that here a, b, c, d and e are constants.
(a) If a = 1, b = 5, c = 1/10, d = 1 and e = 1, plot these two equations on an x-y graph showing clearly the points of their intersection.
y=1x+5
y= 1/10x^2+1x+1
intersect (-6.3,-1.3) (6.3,11.3)
(b) For general a, b, c, d and e, find equations for the positions in space (the values of x and y) at which the deer and the lion meet.
