Solve the system of nonlinear equations: x2+y2=26x^2 + y^2 = 26 and 3x2+25y2=1003x^2 + 25y^2 = 100 to find the four (4) solutions.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given two equations, x+y=26x^{}+y^{}=26 and 3x+25y=1003x^{}+25y^{}=100. . We are asked to solve this system of nonlinear equations.
3. We are told that there are four solutions.

STEP 2

First, we can express y2y^{2} from the first equation and substitute it into the second equation. This will give us a single equation in terms of xx.
y2=26x2y^{2} =26 - x^{2}Substitute y2y^{2} into the second equationx2+25(26x2)=100x^{2} +25(26 - x^{2}) =100

STEP 3

implify the equation by distributing the253x2+65025x2=1003x^{2} +650 -25x^{2} =100

STEP 4

Combine like terms22x2+650=100-22x^{2} +650 =100

STEP 5

Subtract650 from both sides22x2=550-22x^{2} = -550

STEP 6

Divide both sides by -22x2=25x^{2} =25

STEP 7

Take the square root of both sides. Remember that the square root of a number can be either positive or negative, so we have two possible values for xxx=±5x = \pm5

STEP 8

Substitute x=5x =5 and x=5x = -5 into the first equation to find the corresponding yy valuesFor x=5x =5y2=2652=2625=1y^{2} =26 -5^{2} =26 -25 =1So, y=±1y = \pm1.
For x=5x = -5y2=26(5)2=2625=1y^{2} =26 - (-5)^{2} =26 -25 =1So, y=±1y = \pm1.

STEP 9

Therefore, the four solutions to the system of equations are(x,y)=(5,),(5,),(5,),(5,)(x, y) = (5,), (5, -), (-5,), (-5, -)
