What is the solution of the linear-quadratic system of equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

use substitution

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

the first equation says \[ \large y=x^2+5x-3 \] and the second \[ \large y-x=2 \] so pluging the first into the second you get \[ \large \color{red}{x^2+5x-3}-x=2 \] and this is just a quadratic equation!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So , now what after that ?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

solve this last equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be x^ +4x -3 ?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

no. u forgot the two that's on the RHS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What am i supposed to do with that ? would it be x^ +4x-3 =2 ?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

add -2 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be x^ +4x -5 = 0 ?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

yes \[ \large x^2+4x-5=0 \]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

solve it

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

solve this last equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont understand how to solve this last part ?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

do u know the quadratic formula? \[ \large x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No , I dont know it . . .

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

really??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah , sadly :/

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

ok. in the equation \[ \large x^2+4x-5=0 \] when compared with the GENERAL equation \[ \large \color{blue}{ax^2+bx+c=0} \] we have than a=1, b=4 and c=-5. do u get this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes .

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

so pluging this into the formula we have \[ \large x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(1)(-5)}}{2(1)} \]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

do all the computations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x= -4 ( plus or minus ) 4 -4 +20 / 2 ?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

no

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

first powers, then products or division,, then addition or substraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4 -4 + 20 /2 ? im confused . .

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

i'll do it (but u should be able to this kind of stuff)

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

\[ \large x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(1)(-5)}}{2(1)}= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+20}}{2}= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{36}}{2} \] ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh i see now !!! so -4 ( plus or minus) square root 36 / 2 is the answer ?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

no wait

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

\[ \large x=\frac{-4\pm6}{2} \]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

so we have to values for x \[ \large x_1=\frac{-4+6}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1 \] and \[ \large x_2=\frac{-4-6}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}=-5 \]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

now use these to find the corresponding values of \(y\).
