Solve for $x$ and $y$:  \[ \begin{eqnarray} a_1x+b_1y&=&c_1\\   a_2x+b_2y&=&c_2 \end{eqnarray} \]

The included video describes a more direct method of solving when, for example, one of the equations gives a variable directly in terms of the other variable.

Shows how to define variables to stop degenerate examples.

Implicit differentiation.

Given $x^2+y^2+dxy +ax+by=c$ find $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}$ in terms of $x$ and $y$.

Also find two points on the curve where $x=0$ and find the equation of the tangent at those points.

Find a regression equation.

Equations which can be written in the form

\[\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = f(x),   \dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = f(y),   \dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = f(x)f(y)\]

can all be solved by integration.

In each case it is possible to separate the $x$'s to one side of the equation and the $y$'s to the other

Solving such equations is therefore known as solution by separation of variables

Solve a quadratic equation by completing the square. The roots are not pretty!

Factorise a quadratic expression of the form $x^2+akx+bk^2$ for $x$, in terms of $k$. $a$ and $b$ are constants.

Apply the quadratic formula to find the roots of a given equation. The quadratic formula is given in the steps if the student requires it.

Factorise three quadratic equations of the form $x^2+bx+c$.

The first has two negative roots, the second has one negative and one positive, and the third is the difference of two squares.

Factorise a quadratic equation where the coefficient of the $x^2$ term is greater than 1 and then write down the roots of the equation
