solve for x and y (solutions of equations involving quadratic equations)
\[4x^{2}+y ^{2}=17\]
\[x ^{2}+y=5\]

y^2 = 17 - 4x^2 , substitute that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
err
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^2 = (17 - y^2)/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so (17 - y^2)/4 + y = 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
beat everyone else ;)

so you have -y^2/4 + y - 5 + 17/4 = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=1, y=3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when y = 1 , x = 2 , and when y = 3 , x = sqrt 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4x^2 = 17 - y^2 - equation 1
x^2 + y = 5
x^2 = 5 -y - equation 2
substitute equation to into equation 1, you will get
4(5-y) = 17 - y^2
expand everything and you will get
20 - 4y = 17 - y^2
bring everything to one side and you will get
y^2-4y+3 = 0
solve this you wil get
(y-3)(y-1)=0
so y = 3 and y =1
substitute y = 3 and y =1 into equation 2
if y = 3
x^2 = 5-3
*solve this
if y = 1
x^2 = 5-1
x = 2

thank you so much :)
