# Math Help - two equations

hi

2. ## Re: two equations

You have a circle and an ellipse there, and need to find their points of intersection. Fundamentally it is no different than other systems of two equations with two unknowns.

$x^2 + y^2 = 12 - x - y \quad So, \quad 12 - x - y - xy = 9 \Rightarrow x + y + xy = 3 \Rightarrow x + y = 3 - xy \Rightarrow (x + y)^2 = (3 - xy)^2 \Rightarrow x^2 + 2xy + y^2 = 9 - 6xy + (xy)^2 \Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 + 8xy = 9 + (xy)^2$

You continue. At the end you will find: x = 0, y = 0, xy = 9. When x = 0 => y = +-3, when y = 0 => x = +-3, when xy = 9 => $x^2 + y^2 = 18 \quad and \quad x = \frac{9}{y} ....$

You can't really get anywhere from there. The usual case for that would be that the RHS is zero. Then we could say that since ab = 0, we have that a = 0 or b = 0. But you don't have that.

ManosG's method seems to be a good one.

Hello, abualabed!

$\text{If }x,y\text{ are integers, solve this system:}$

. . $x^2 + y^2 + x + y \:=\:12\;\;[1]$

. . . . $x^2 + y^2 - xy \:=\:9\;\;[2]$

Subtract [1] - [2]: . $x + y + xy \:=\:3$

Solve for $y\!:\;\;y \:=\:\frac{3-x}{1+x}$

Substitute into [2]: . $x^2 + \left(\frac{3-x}{1+x}\right)^2 - x\left(\frac{3-x}{1+x}\right) \:=\:9$

. . which simplifies to: . $x^4 + 3x^3 - 9x^2 - 27x \:=\:0$

. . and which factors: . $x(x-3)(x+3)^2 \:=\:0$

Hence: . $\begin{Bmatrix}x &=& 0,3,\text{-}3 \\ y &=& 3,0,\text{-}3 \end{Bmatrix}$

Solutions: . $(x,y) \;=\;(3,0),\;(0,3),\;(\text{-}3,\text{-}3)$

I don't suffer from MHF addiction... I enjoy every minute of it!

$\displaystyle b = \frac{\sum(x - \bar{x})(y - \bar{y})}{\sum(x - \bar{x})^2}$ and $a = \bar{y} - b\bar{x}$

Proof is what sets mathematics apart from every other science.

$\displaystyle \textrm{Ra}^2 + \textrm{Ah}^3 + (1 + \textrm{Ma})\textrm{RoMa} + \textrm{Ga}^2 + \textrm{Oh} + \textrm{La}^2 = \textrm{Bad Romance}$

I have never failed a student, they have only ever failed themselves.
