Goals and Objectives of the
Solving Equations Module

After completing this module you will be able to: describe the graph of an equation written in standard form. describe what the graph of an equation of the form Ax2 + By2 + Cx + Dy + F = 0 might look like by inspecting the values of the coefficients A, B, C, D and F. describe the graph of an equation of the form Ax2 + By2 + Cx + Dy + F = 0 by rewriting the equation into standard form. show how to solve a linear - quadratic system of equations graphically and algebraically. describe the ways in which the graphs of a linear equation and a quadratic equation can intersect. describe the ways in which the graph of two quadratic equations can intersect. show how to solve a quadratic - quadratic system of equations graphically and algebraically. describe or show how to check the solutions of a system of equations by substituting the solutions into the original equations. describe the effect that translating the graph of an equation over a fixed graph has on the number of intersection points between the two graphs.
