Problem

Solve the System of Equations x^2+y^2=10 y=2x-5

The problem presents a system of equations that consists of two equations with two variables, x and y. The first equation, x^2 + y^2 = 10, represents a circle with a certain radius centered at the origin on a coordinate plane. The second equation, y = 2x - 5, represents a straight line. The question asks to find the point(s) where the circle and the line intersect by solving this system simultaneously.

Solution:

Step:1

Substitute 2x5 for y in the equation x2+y2=10.

Step:1.1

Substitute y in x2+y2=10 with 2x5.

x2+(2x5)2=10 y=2x5

Step:1.2

Expand and simplify the equation.

Step:1.2.1

Expand x2+(2x5)2.

Step:1.2.1.1

Expand each term individually.

Step:1.2.1.1.1

Rewrite (2x5)2 as (2x5)(2x5).

x2+(2x5)(2x5)=10 y=2x5

Step:1.2.1.1.2

Use the FOIL Method to expand (2x5)(2x5).

Step:1.2.1.1.2.1

Distribute 2x across (2x5) and 5 across (2x5).

x2+2x(2x5)5(2x5)=10 y=2x5

Step:1.2.1.1.3

Combine like terms.

Step:1.2.1.1.3.1

Simplify and combine like terms.

x2+4x210x10x+25=10 y=2x5

Step:1.2.1.2

Combine x2 and 4x2.

5x220x+25=10 y=2x5

Step:2

Solve for x in 5x220x+25=10.

Step:2.1

Subtract 10 from both sides.

5x220x+15=0 y=2x5

Step:2.2

Factor the quadratic equation.

Step:2.3

Factor out the greatest common factor, which is 5.

Step:2.3.1

Factor 5 from each term.

5(x24x+3)=0 y=2x5

Step:2.3.2

Factor the trinomial x24x+3.

Step:2.3.2.1

Find two numbers that multiply to 3 and add to 4.

(x3)(x1)=0 y=2x5

Step:2.4

Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.

x3=0 or x1=0 y=2x5

Step:2.5

Solve x3=0.

x=3 y=2x5

Step:2.6

Solve x1=0.

x=1 y=2x5

Step:2.7

The solutions for x are 3 and 1.

x=3,1 y=2x5

Step:3

Substitute x=3 into y=2x5 to find y.

y=2(3)5

Step:3.1

Simplify to find y.

y=65 y=1 x=3

Step:4

Substitute x=1 into y=2x5 to find y.

y=2(1)5

Step:4.1

Simplify to find y.

y=25 y=3 x=1

Step:5

The solution set is the pair of x and y values that satisfy both equations.

(3,1) and (1,3)

Step:6

The solution can be presented in different formats.

Point Form: (3,1),(1,3) Equation Form: x=3,y=1 and x=1,y=3

Knowledge Notes:

The problem involves solving a system of equations, one of which is a circle equation x2+y2=10 and the other is a linear equation y=2x5. The process includes substitution, simplification, expansion, factoring, and solving quadratic equations.

  • Substitution: Replace y with 2x5 in the circle equation to eliminate y and obtain a single equation in terms of x.

  • Simplification: Simplify the equation by expanding and combining like terms.

  • Factoring: Factor the resulting quadratic equation to find the values of x that satisfy the equation.

  • Solving Quadratic Equations: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.

  • Back Substitution: Substitute the found values of x into the original linear equation to find the corresponding values of y.

  • Solution Set: The solution to the system of equations is the set of ordered pairs (x,y) that satisfy both original equations.

The FOIL Method (First, Outer, Inner, Last) is used to expand binomials, and factoring involves finding two numbers that multiply to the constant term and add to the coefficient of the middle term in a quadratic equation. The distributive property is applied when expanding expressions, and the zero-product property is used to find the solutions of a factored equation.
