Find real points of intersection of the equations algebraically

28 Views Asked by At

Can you help me to find pints of intersection of given system of equesions? Can't do it by myself.

$xy + x - 2y + 3 = 0$

$x^2 + 4y^2 - 9 = 0$

The first equation becomes $$x−2y=-3-xy$$ so $$(x-2y)^2=(-3-xy)^2$$ or $$x^2-4xy+4y^2=9+x^2y^2+6xy$$ and thus $$x^2+4y^2-9=xy(xy+10)$$ and the left hand side is equal to $0$, so $$xy(xy+10)=0$$ So either $x=0$, $y=0$, or $xy=-10$.

If $x=0$, then $y=\frac 32$ (by simply solving the first equation)

If $y=0$, then $x=-3$.

If $xy=-10$, then $x=2y+7$ (by the first equation) so, when substituting this into the second equation, we get $$(2y+7)^2+4y^2-9=0$$ so $$8y^2+28y+40=0$$ which has no real solutions, so $xy=-10$ yields no solutions. Thus, the solutions are $$(x,y)\in\{(0,\tfrac 32),(-3,0)\}$$

Rewrite 1st Equation in terms of $y$:

$$y=\frac{-x-3}{x-2}$$

Rewrite 2nd Equation in terms of $y$:

$$y=\sqrt{\frac{9-x^2}{4}}$$

Setting them equal to one another:

$$\frac{-x-3}{x-2}=\sqrt{\frac{9-x^2}{4}}$$

Simplifying:

$$\frac{x^2+6x+9}{x^2-4x+4}={\frac{9-x^2}{4}}$$

$$4x^2+24x+36=9x^2-36x+36-x^4+4x^3-4x^2$$

$$4x^2+24x=9x^2-36x-x^4+4x^3-4x^2$$

$$x^4-4x^3-x^2+54x=0$$

Real solutions from using synthetic division and rational root theorem:

$$x=0, x=-3$$

Case #1: Plugging $x=0$ into the original equation:

$$-2y+3=0$$

$$y=\frac{3}{2}$$

Intersection point #1: $(0,\frac{3}{2})$

Case #2: Plugging in $x=-3$ to the original equation:

$$-3y-2y=0$$

$$y=0$$

Intersection point #2: $(-3,0)$
