The non-linear systems we've solved so far have been one quadratic equation and one linear equation, which graphed as a parabola and a straight line, respectively. Moving up in difficulty, we come to solving systems of two quadratic equations, which will graph as two parabolas; and similarly messy systems.
- Solve the following system:
y = 2x2 + 3x + 4
y = x2 + 2x + 3
y = x2 + 2x + 3
As before, I'll set these equations equal, and solve for the values of x: | 2x2 + 3x + 4 = x2 + 2x + 3 x2 + x + 1 = 0 |
Using the Quadratic Formula: | |
But I can't graph that negative inside the square root! What's going on here? Take a look at the graph: |
The lines do not intersect. Since there is no intersection, then there is no solution. That is, this is an inconsistent system. My final answer is: no solution: inconsistent system.
In general, the method of solution for general systems of equations is to solve one of the equations (you choose which) for one of the variables (again, you choose which). Then you plug the resulting expression into the other equation for the chosen variable, and solve for the values of the other variable. Then you plug those solutions back into the first equation, and solve for the values of the first variable. Here are some additional examples: Copyright © 2002-2011 Elizabeth Stapel All Rights Reserved
- Solve the following system:
y = –x – 3
x2 + y2 = 17
x2 + y2 = 17
Graphically, this system is a straight line (from the first equation) crossing a circle centered at the origin (from the second equation):
There appear to be two solutions. I'll proceed algebraically to confirm this impression, and to get the exact values.
Since the first equation is already solved for y, I will plug '–x – 3' in for 'y' in the second equation, and solve for the values of x:
x2 + y2 = 17
x2 + (–x – 3)2 = 17
x2 + (–x – 3)(–x – 3) = 17
x2 + (x2 + 6x + 9) = 17
2x2 + 6x + 9 = 17
2x2 + 6x – 8 = 0
x2 + 3x – 4 = 0
(x + 4)(x – 1) = 0
x = –4, x = 1
x2 + (–x – 3)2 = 17
x2 + (–x – 3)(–x – 3) = 17
x2 + (x2 + 6x + 9) = 17
2x2 + 6x + 9 = 17
2x2 + 6x – 8 = 0
x2 + 3x – 4 = 0
(x + 4)(x – 1) = 0
x = –4, x = 1
When x = –4, y = –x – 3 = –(–4) – 3 = 4 – 3 = 1
When x = 1, y = –x – 3 = –(1) – 3 = –4
Then the solution consists of the points (–4, 1) and (1, –4).

Note the procedure: I solved one of the equations (the first equation looked easier) for one of the variables (solving for 'y=' looked easier), and then plugged the resulting expression back into the other equation. This gave me one equation in one variable (the variable happened to be x), and a one-variable equation is something I know how to solve. Once I had the solution values for x, I back-solved for the correspondingy-values. I emphasize 'corresponding' because you have to keep track of which y-value goes with which x-value. In the example above, the points (–4, –4) and (1, 1) are not solutions. Even though I came up with x = –4 and 1 and y = –4 and 1, the x = –4 did not go with the y = –4, and the x = 1 did not go with the y = 1.
Warning: You must match the x-values and y-values correctly. Be careful!

- Solve the following system of equations:
y = (1/2)x – 5
y = x2 + 2x – 15
y = x2 + 2x – 15
Since both equations are already solved for y, I'll set them equal and solve for the values of x:
(1/2)x – 5 = x2 + 2x – 15
x – 10 = 2x2 + 4x – 30
0 = 2x2 + 3x – 20
0 = (2x – 5)(x + 4)
x – 10 = 2x2 + 4x – 30
0 = 2x2 + 3x – 20
0 = (2x – 5)(x + 4)
x = 5/2, x = –4
When x = 5/2:
y = (1/2)x – 5 = (1/2)(5/2) – 5 = 5/4 – 20/4 = – 15/4 = –3.75
When x = –4:

Then the solutions are the points ( 5/2, –15/4 ) and (–4, –7).

Graphically, the above system looks like this: The intersection points on the graph appear to be good matches for the numerical solutions I got via algebra, confirming that I've done the exercise correctly. |

- Solve the following system of equations:
xy = 1
x + y = 2
x + y = 2
Taking a quick look at the graph, I see that there appears to be only one solution:
I guess I'll solve the second equation for y, and plug the result into the first equation:
x + y = 2
y = –x + 2
y = –x + 2
Then:
xy = 1
x(–x + 2) = 1
–x2 + 2x = 1
–x2 + 2x – 1 = 0
x2 – 2x + 1 = 0
(x – 1)(x – 1) = 0
x = 1
x(–x + 2) = 1
–x2 + 2x = 1
–x2 + 2x – 1 = 0
x2 – 2x + 1 = 0
(x – 1)(x – 1) = 0
x = 1
Then:
x + y = 2
(1) + y = 2
y = 1
(1) + y = 2
y = 1
Then the solution is the point(1, 1).
