Let's see if (0,59) is a solution.


Start with the given equation.


Plug in and .


Evaluate and simplify the left side.


Evaluate and simplify the right side.


Since the equation is not true, this means that (0,59) is not a solution.

Let's see if (11,44) is a solution.


Start with the given equation.


Plug in and .


Evaluate and simplify the left side.


Evaluate and simplify the right side.


Since the equation is not true, this means that (11,44) is not a solution.

Let's see if (60,0) is a solution.


Start with the given equation.


Plug in and .


Evaluate and simplify the left side.


Evaluate and simplify the right side.


Since the equation is not true, this means that (60,0) is not a solution.

Let's see if (13,50) is a solution.


Start with the given equation.


Plug in and .


Evaluate and simplify the left side.


Evaluate and simplify the right side.


Since the equation is not true, this means that (13,50) is not a solution.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Let's see if (0,-59) is a solution.


Start with the given equation.


Plug in and .


Evaluate and simplify the left side.


Evaluate and simplify the right side.


Since the equation is true, this means that (0,-59) is a solution.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Let's see if (8,51) is a solution.


Start with the given equation.


Plug in and .


Evaluate and simplify the left side.


Evaluate and simplify the right side.


Since the equation is not true, this means that (8,51) is not a solution.


==================================================================================

Summary:

So the only solution is (0,-59)
