System of nonlinear equations

Determine the solution of

x²+4x-6y-8=0 (1)

4y-3x-2y=0

Solution

We are tasked with solving the following system of nonlinear equations:

  1. x2+4x6y8=0x^2 + 4x - 6y - 8 = 0 (Equation 1)
  2. 4y3x2y=04y - 3x - 2y = 0 (Equation 2)

Let's simplify and solve these equations step by step.

Step 1: Simplify Equation 2

We simplify the second equation 4y3x2y=04y - 3x - 2y = 0:

(4y2y)3x=0(4y - 2y) - 3x = 0

2y3x=02y - 3x = 0

This simplifies to:

2y=3xy=32x(Equation 3)2y = 3x \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = \frac{3}{2}x \quad \text{(Equation 3)}

Step 2: Substitute Equation 3 into Equation 1

Now, substitute y=32xy = \frac{3}{2}x into the first equation x2+4x6y8=0x^2 + 4x - 6y - 8 = 0:

x2+4x6(32x)8=0x^2 + 4x - 6\left(\frac{3}{2}x\right) - 8 = 0

Simplifying the terms:

x2+4x9x8=0x^2 + 4x - 9x - 8 = 0

x25x8=0x^2 - 5x - 8 = 0

Step 3: Solve the quadratic equation

The quadratic equation to solve is:

x25x8=0x^2 - 5x - 8 = 0

We can use the quadratic formula:

x=(5)±(5)24(1)(8)2(1)x = \frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4(1)(-8)}}{2(1)}

Simplifying:

x=5±25+322x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25 + 32}}{2}

x=5±572x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{57}}{2}

Thus, the two possible solutions for xx are:

x=5+572orx=5572x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{57}}{2} \quad \text{or} \quad x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{57}}{2}

Step 4: Find the corresponding yy values

Using y=32xy = \frac{3}{2}x, substitute the two values of xx:

  1. For x=5+572x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{57}}{2}: y=32×5+572=3(5+57)4y = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{5 + \sqrt{57}}{2} = \frac{3(5 + \sqrt{57})}{4}

  2. For x=5572x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{57}}{2}: y=32×5572=3(557)4y = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{5 - \sqrt{57}}{2} = \frac{3(5 - \sqrt{57})}{4}

Final Solution:

The two solutions for the system of equations are:

  1. (5+572,3(5+57)4)\left( \frac{5 + \sqrt{57}}{2}, \frac{3(5 + \sqrt{57})}{4} \right)
  2. (5572,3(557)4)\left( \frac{5 - \sqrt{57}}{2}, \frac{3(5 - \sqrt{57})}{4} \right)
