Help with 4 part question =)

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Still need help with this?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Yes

563blackghost (563blackghost):

If so, we would first need to make `4x-8y=0` into an equation of x. First we would need to get `-8y` to the other side, so we would do the opposite process done in the equation. So we would `add 8y` to both sides... \(\LARGE\bf{4x-8y+8y=8y+0 \rightarrow 4x = 8y+0}\) Now we need to isolate x so we would divide by 4 from each side... \(\huge\bf{\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{8y}{4}}\) What does that equal?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

That equals 2

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Well 2 is partially correct, when doing expressions you must include the variable so it would be... \(\huge\bf{x=2y}\) So that is for Step 1.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Oh okay, so I would include the Y?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Yes.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Okay , thanks now for the next part

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

I would just write 2y in the equation?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

We would input the expression in place of x in the second equation.. \(\huge\bf{2y+y^{2}=25}\) Yes :)

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Okay and then it says to solve for y

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Ya there?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Yes sorry the next part is a bit confusing for me one second :)

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

no, it's alright, take your time =)

563blackghost (563blackghost):

The next process is tricky so i'll type it out :)

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Okay =)

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Aww man I forgot to include the power of 2 for x, so sorry let me write that again.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Okay =)

563blackghost (563blackghost):

\(\huge\bf{(2y)^{2}+y^{2}=25}\) We simplify the parenthesis. \(\huge\bf{4y+y^{2}=25}\) Combine. \(\huge\bf{5y^{2}=25}\) Divide by 5. \(\huge\bf{y^{2}=5}\) Find the square root. \(\huge\bf{y= \pm \sqrt{5}}\) So the answer for y is \(\large\bf{-\sqrt{5}, \sqrt{5}}\).

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Thats a bit simpler. I was wondering why it was so complicated ^.^

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

is that for step 2 or 3

563blackghost (563blackghost):

So we then input into the first equation. \(\huge\bf{4x-8(\sqrt{5})=0}\) \(\huge\bf{4x-8(-\sqrt{5})=0}\) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So we would simplify the parathesis. \(\huge\bf{4x-8\sqrt{5}=0}\) Add `-8 sqrt5`. \(\huge\bf{4x = 8\sqrt{5}}\) Divide by 4. \(\huge\bf{x= \pm 2\sqrt{5}}\) So our solutions is.... \(\huge\bf{(-2\sqrt{5},-\sqrt{5})}\) and \(\huge\bf{(2\sqrt{5},\sqrt{5})}\)

563blackghost (563blackghost):

The solution to finding y is for step 2.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

and this second thing that you typed out is for step 3, just to make it clear?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Yup :) And the solutions are for step 4.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Okay thank you so much. I really appreciate guidance like this where I can work and excel in my experience as a student. Thank you again =)
