solve 9y^2z^2+yz^2-9y=0

Solution

To solve the equation 9y2z2+yz29y=09y^2z^2 + yz^2 - 9y = 0, let's proceed by factoring the expression.

Step 1: Factor out the common terms

First, notice that each term in the equation has a common factor of yy. We can factor yy out:

y(9yz2+z29)=0y(9yz^2 + z^2 - 9) = 0

Step 2: Solve the factored equation

Now, we have a product of two factors equal to zero. Therefore, we set each factor equal to zero:

  1. y=0y = 0
  2. 9yz2+z29=09yz^2 + z^2 - 9 = 0

Solution 1:

y=0y = 0

This is one solution.

Solution 2:

Solve the quadratic equation 9yz2+z29=09yz^2 + z^2 - 9 = 0.

This can be rewritten as:

z2(9y+1)9=0z^2(9y + 1) - 9 = 0

Now, move 9-9 to the other side:

z2(9y+1)=9z^2(9y + 1) = 9

Divide both sides by 9y+19y + 1 (assuming 9y+109y + 1 \neq 0):

z2=99y+1z^2 = \frac{9}{9y + 1}

Take the square root of both sides:

z=±99y+1=±39y+1z = \pm \sqrt{\frac{9}{9y + 1}} = \pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{9y + 1}}

Final Solutions:

The solutions to the equation are:

  1. y=0y = 0
  2. z=±39y+1z = \pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{9y + 1}}

Let me know if you have any questions or need further details!

Here are five related questions to consider:

  1. What happens if y=19y = -\frac{1}{9} in the original equation?
  2. How would you graph the solutions in the yy-zz plane?
  3. How can the discriminant be used to analyze the solutions for different values of yy?
  4. How would the solutions change if the coefficient of yz2yz^2 were different?
  5. What are the real-world applications of solving such quadratic equations?

Tip: When solving quadratic equations, always check if you can factor out common terms first to simplify the equation.
