Q. Solve the system of equations.y=−27x−23y=x2−13x+26Write the coordinates in exact form. Simplify all fractions and radicals.(______,______)
Set Equations Equal: Since both equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other to find x. This gives us the equation −27x−23=x2−13x+26.
Rearrange and Solve for x: Rearrange the equation to set it to zero and solve for x. This means we will move all terms to one side to get x2−13x+26=27x+23. Simplifying this, we get x2−40x+3=0.
Quadratic Formula: This is a quadratic equation, and we can solve for x by factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is x=2a−b±b2−4ac. For our equation, a=1, b=−40, and c=3.
Calculate Discriminant: Calculate the discriminant Δ=b2−4ac which is Δ=(−40)2−4(1)(3). This gives us Δ=1600−12, so Δ=1588.
Find Real Solutions: Since the discriminant is positive, we have two real solutions. Now we use the quadratic formula to find the values of x: x=240±1588. Simplifying under the radical, 1588=(4⋅397)=2397. So the solutions for x are x=240±2397.
Substitute x into Original Equation: Simplify the solutions for x by dividing by 2: x=20±397.
Find y for x=20+397: Now we substitute the values of x back into one of the original equations to find y. Let's use y=−27x−23. First, we'll find y for x=20+397. This gives us y=−27(20+397)−23.
Find y for x=20−397: Simplify the expression for y: y=−540−27397−23. Combining like terms, we get y=−563−27397.
Final Pairs of Solutions: Now we find y for x=20−397. This gives us y=−27(20−397)−23.
Final Pairs of Solutions: Now we find y for x=20−397. This gives us y=−27(20−397)−23.Simplify the expression for y: y=−540+27397−23. Combining like terms, we get y=−563+27397.
Final Pairs of Solutions: Now we find y for x=20−397. This gives us y=−27(20−397)−23.Simplify the expression for y: y=−540+27397−23. Combining like terms, we get y=−563+27397.We now have two pairs of solutions for the system of equations: (20+397,−563−27397) and (20−397,−563+27397).
