Algebra.Com's Answer #148617 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Circle: x^2 + (y-9)^2 = 16 \n" ); document.write( "Ellipse: x^2/16 + (y-1)^2/49 = 1 \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Ellipse x 16: x^2 + (16/49)*(y-1)^2 = 16 \n" ); document.write( "Set the 2 eqns equal to each other, solve for y. \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "y = 67/11 (Ignore y = 59/3) \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Sub into original eqn \n" ); document.write( "x = +- sqrt(912)/11 = ~ 2.74539 \n" ); document.write( "(-2.745,6.09),(+2.745,6.09) \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "email via the thank you note if you want additional help, or to see the graph. \n" ); document.write( " |
