Q. y−3=3xy+11=50−10x+x2If (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are distinct solutions to the system of equations shown, what is the product of the y1 and y2 ?
Write Equations: Write down the system of equations.We have the following system of equations:y−3=3xy+11=50−10x+x2We need to find the solutions (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) and then calculate the product of y1 and y2.
Express y in terms of x: Express y from the first equation in terms of x.y=3x+3Now we have y in terms of x, which we can substitute into the second equation.
Substitute y into second equation: Substitute y=3x+3 into the second equation.(3x+3)+11=50−10x+x2Simplify the equation by combining like terms.3x+3+11=50−10x+x23x+14=50−10x+x2
Rearrange to quadratic equation: Rearrange the equation to form a quadratic equation.x2+10x+3x−50+14=0Combine like terms.x2+13x−36=0Now we have a quadratic equation in standard form.
Factor quadratic equation: Factor the quadratic equation.We need to find two numbers that multiply to −36 and add up to 13.The numbers are 16 and −9.So we can factor the equation as:(x+16)(x−9)=0
Solve for x: Solve for x.Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.x+16=0 or x−9=0x=−16 or x=9These are the x-values for our solutions (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
Find corresponding y-values: Find the corresponding y-values.Substitute x=−16 and x=9 into y=3x+3 to find y1 and y2.For x=−16:y1=3(−16)+3=−48+3=−45For x=9:y2=3(9)+3=27+3=30Now we have our solutions: (−16,−45) and x=90.
Calculate y1×y2: Calculate the product of y1 and y2.y1×y2=−45×30y1×y2=−1350The product of y1 and y2 is −1350.
