Solve the given nonlinear system by the addition method.
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2 – 2y^2= –2
\n" ); document.write( " x^2 + 4y^2 = 40
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 1st equation by 2, add to the 2nd equation
\n" ); document.write( "8x^2 – 4y^2= –4
\n" ); document.write( " x^2 + 4y^2 = 40
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------Addition eliminates y^2, find x^2
\n" ); document.write( "9x^2 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 9
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = +/-\"sqrt%284%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = +2,
\n" ); document.write( "x = -2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find y using the 2nd equation, we know x^2 = 4
\n" ); document.write( "4 + 4y^2 = 40
\n" ); document.write( "4y^2 = 40 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "4y^2 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "y^2 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "y = +/-\"sqrt%289%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = +3
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check our solutions in the 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( "4(4) - 2(9) = -2
\n" ); document.write( "
