We want to solve the given using the .
{y−21x2=1+3xy+21x2=x(I)(II)
Note that neither of the variables is isolated in either equation, so we will start by isolating
y in Equation (II).
{y−21x2=1+3xy+21x2=x ⇒ {y−21x2=1+3xy=-21x2+x
The
y-variable is isolated in Equation (II). This allows us to substitute its value
-21x2+x for
y in Equation (I).
{y−21x2=1+3xy=-21x2+x
{-21x2+x−21x2=1+3xy=-21x2+x
{-x2+x=1+3xy=-21x2+x
{-x2=1+2xy=-21x2+x
{0=x2+1+2xy=-21x2+x
{x2+2x+1=0y=-21x2+x
{(x+1)2=0y=-21x2+x
{x+1=0y=-21x2+x
{x=-1y=-21x2+x
Notice that in Equation (I), we have found that
x=-1. We can substitute this result into Equation (II) and solve for
y.
{x=1y=-21x2+x
{x=1y=-21(-1)2+(-1)
{x=1y=-21(-1)2−1
{x=1y=-21(1)−1
{x=1y=-21−1
{x=1y=-23
We found that
y=-23. It means that the only solution to our system, which is the only point of intersection of the two , is
(-1,-23).
