What is the solution of the linear-quadratic system of equations?
use substitution
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!!
So , now what after that ?
solve this last equation.
would it be x^ +4x -3 ?
no. u forgot the two that's on the RHS
What am i supposed to do with that ? would it be x^ +4x-3 =2 ?
add -2 to both sides
so would it be x^ +4x -5 = 0 ?
yes \[ \large x^2+4x-5=0 \]
solve it
solve this last equation
I dont understand how to solve this last part ?
do u know the quadratic formula? \[ \large x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \]
No , I dont know it . . .
really??
yeah , sadly :/
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?
yes .
so pluging this into the formula we have \[ \large x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(1)(-5)}}{2(1)} \]
do all the computations.
x= -4 ( plus or minus ) 4 -4 +20 / 2 ?
no
first powers, then products or division,, then addition or substraction.
-4 -4 + 20 /2 ? im confused . .
i'll do it (but u should be able to this kind of stuff)
\[ \large x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(1)(-5)}}{2(1)}= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+20}}{2}= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{36}}{2} \] ok?
ohhh i see now !!! so -4 ( plus or minus) square root 36 / 2 is the answer ?
no wait
\[ \large x=\frac{-4\pm6}{2} \]
so we have to values for x \[ \large x_1=\frac{-4+6}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1 \] and \[ \large x_2=\frac{-4-6}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}=-5 \]
now use these to find the corresponding values of \(y\).
