Solution

Let's analyze and solve the questions from the uploaded image step-by-step. I'll begin with the first question. Let me know which question you'd like me to solve first or if you prefer detailed solutions for all of them.


Question 1.2

Solve for xx and yy simultaneously in the equations:

  1. 3xy=63x - y = 6
  2. x23x+xyy=22x^2 - 3x + xy - y = 22

We will solve this step-by-step.

Step 1: Solve 3xy=63x - y = 6 for yy:

y=3x6y = 3x - 6

Step 2: Substitute y=3x6y = 3x - 6 into the second equation:

x23x+x(3x6)(3x6)=22x^2 - 3x + x(3x - 6) - (3x - 6) = 22

Simplify: x23x+3x26x3x+6=22x^2 - 3x + 3x^2 - 6x - 3x + 6 = 22

4x212x+6=224x^2 - 12x + 6 = 22

4x212x16=04x^2 - 12x - 16 = 0

Step 3: Simplify the quadratic equation:

x23x4=0x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

Factorize: (x4)(x+1)=0(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0

So: x=4orx=1x = 4 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -1

Step 4: Solve for yy using y=3x6y = 3x - 6:

  1. If x=4x = 4: y=3(4)6=126=6y = 3(4) - 6 = 12 - 6 = 6

  2. If x=1x = -1: y=3(1)6=36=9y = 3(-1) - 6 = -3 - 6 = -9

Final Solutions:

(x,y)=(4,6)or(x,y)=(1,9)(x, y) = (4, 6) \quad \text{or} \quad (x, y) = (-1, -9)

Here are 5 related questions that expand on the solution above:

  1. What are the conditions for a quadratic equation to have real solutions?
  2. How can substitution be used in solving non-linear systems of equations?
  3. What happens if a system of equations has no solutions?
  4. How would the solution change if the second equation were x2+3x+xyy=22x^2 + 3x + xy - y = 22?
  5. What is the graphical interpretation of solving 3xy=63x - y = 6 and x23x+xyy=22x^2 - 3x + xy - y = 22?

Tip: Always simplify one equation to express one variable in terms of another for substitution.
