Algebra.Com's Answer #145217 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! what do they mean by find the exact solutions of each system of equations: x^2+y^2=100 and y=2-x? \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "They mean for you to find x/y pairs that make both equations true. \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Substitute y = 2-x in the other equation to solve for \"x\":\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (2-x)^2 = 100 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 4 -4x + x^2 = 100 \n" ); document.write( "2x^2-4x-96 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 -2x-48 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "(x-8)(x+6) = 0 \n" ); document.write( "x = 8 or x = -6 \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "If x = 8, y = 2-x = 6 giving you point (8,6) \n" ); document.write( "If x = -6, y = 2-x = 9 giving you point (-6,8) \n" ); document.write( "==================================================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
