Please note that graphing is not allowed in solving this.
If (x^2/49)+(y^2/4)=1 and x^2=7y, then what are the values of x and y
..
(x^2/49)+(y^2/4)=1
x^2=7y
..
7y/49)+(y^2/4)=1
y/7+y^2/4=1
4y+7y^2=28
7y^2+4y-28=0
solve by quadratic formula
a=7, b=4, c=-28
y=[-4�sqrt(4^2-4*7*-28)]2*7
y=[-4�√(800)]14
y=(-4�28.28)/14
y=-2.31 (reject, y≥0)
or
y=1.73
..
(x^2/49)+(y^2/4)=1
for y=1.73
(x^2/49)+(3/4)=1
x^2+36.75=49
x^2=12.25
x=�√12.25
x=�3.5
ans:
Points of intersection: (3.5,1.73) & (-3.5,1.73)
..
check:
(x^2/49)+(y^2/4)=1
3.5^2/49+1.73^2/4
.25+.75..=1
