Question 850277
The sum of the squares if two numbers is 5/18 and the sum of 6 times the smaller number and 4 times the larger number is 3. What are the numbers??
:
A lot of nasty math here, use the graphing method
x^2 + y^2 = {{{5/18}}}
y = {{{sqrt(5/18 - x^2)}}}
and
4y + 6x = 3
4y = 3 - 6x
y = {{{3/4}}} - {{{3/2}}}x
Graph these two equations
{{{ graph( 300, 200, -1, 1, -1, 1, sqrt((5/18)-x^2), .75 - 1.5x) }}}
intersects at x = {{{1/6}}} y = {{{1/2}}}
