\"x%5E2+-+y%5E2+-+2x+%2B+2y+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"4x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+-+8x+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( " In fact, the 1st equation is two-lines and the 2nd one is an ellipse
\n" ); document.write( " Since \"4x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+-+8x+=+0\" --> \"4%28x-1%29%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+=4+\"
\n" ); document.write( " --> \"%28x-1%29%5E2+%2B+y%5E2%2F4+=+1+\" is an ellipse centered at (1,0).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " They may have at most 4 points of intersectins.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "[The point is to cancel variable y]
\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using complete squares to covert the 1st equation to:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"+%28x-1%29%5E2+-%28y-1%29%5E2+=+0\"...(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Keep the 2nd equation as before \"4x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+-+8x+=+0+\" ...(2)
\n" ); document.write( " From(1),we have y-1 = \"0+%2B-+%28x-1%29\" ( +/-means postive or negative)
\n" ); document.write( " When y = x-1 + 1 = x, goto (2), we have
\n" ); document.write( " \"5x%5E2+-+8x+=+0+\",hence x = 0 or 8/5 (why??)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Then,we get y = 0 or 8/5 (since y = x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " When y = -x+1 + 1 = -x+2, goto (2), we have
\n" ); document.write( " \"4x%5E2+%2B+%28x-2%29%5E2+-8x+=+0+\",
\n" ); document.write( " Or \"5x%5E2+-+12x+%2B+4+=+0+\",
\n" ); document.write( " Factoring: \"%285x-2%29%28x-2%29=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( " So,x = 2/5 or 2
\n" ); document.write( " and then, y = 8/5 or 0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Thus,the four points of intersection are
\n" ); document.write( " (0,0),(8/5,8/5), (2/5, 8/5), and (2,0)\r
