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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HELP!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathstudent55 help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nubeer @phi

OpenStudy (abb0t):

use substitution method to solve this.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

substitute y = x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused :P

OpenStudy (abb0t):

actually, u can just substitte the first equation into the second one much more easier. you see how it says y = ____ for the first one. just take that whole polynomial and put it on the second in place of "y". and solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. okay! hold on lemme try!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like: x^2+5x-3=x^2+5-3-x=2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

y = x^2+5x-3 -------(1) y-x = 2 ------------(2)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

from (2), y = x+2 substitute this value in (1) for y => x+2 = x^2 + 5x -3 x^2 + 4x -5 = 0 solve this equation for x values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x^2 + 4x -5 = 0 x^2 +5x - x -5 = 0 x(x + 5) -1(x+5) = 0 (x+5)(x-1) = 0 x = -5 or 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

substitute these two x values in (2), to get y values x = -5 => y = ? x = 1 => y = ? can u find y ha..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so :P lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, then :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

after finding y values, u need to show solutions as ordered pairs like this : - (x1, y1) , (x2, y2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3?? lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats one y value, find second also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and y=3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

perfect ! so the solution set is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help with this one? Simplify the number using the imaginary unit i.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

square root -16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-5,-3) , (1,3)
