Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The system of equations consists of a circle equation x2+y2=16x^2 + y^2 = 16 and a linear equation x+4y=2x + 4y = 2.
2. The solution involves finding the intersection points of the circle and the line.
3. The solutions should be rounded to three decimal places.

STEP 2

1. Solve the linear equation for one variable.
2. Substitute the expression from the linear equation into the circle equation.
3. Solve the resulting quadratic equation.
4. Find the corresponding yy values for each xx.
5. Round the solutions to three decimal places.

STEP 3

Solve the linear equation x+4y=2x + 4y = 2 for xx:
x=24y x = 2 - 4y

STEP 4

Substitute x=24yx = 2 - 4y into the circle equation x2+y2=16x^2 + y^2 = 16:
(24y)2+y2=16 (2 - 4y)^2 + y^2 = 16

STEP 5

Expand and simplify the equation:
(24y)2=416y+16y2 (2 - 4y)^2 = 4 - 16y + 16y^2 416y+16y2+y2=16 4 - 16y + 16y^2 + y^2 = 16 17y216y+4=16 17y^2 - 16y + 4 = 16

STEP 6

Move all terms to one side to form a quadratic equation:
17y216y+416=0 17y^2 - 16y + 4 - 16 = 0 17y216y12=0 17y^2 - 16y - 12 = 0

STEP 7

Solve the quadratic equation 17y216y12=017y^2 - 16y - 12 = 0 using the quadratic formula:
y=b±b24ac2a y = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
where a=17a = 17, b=16b = -16, and c=12c = -12.

STEP 8

Calculate the discriminant and solve for yy:
b24ac=(16)24×17×(12) b^2 - 4ac = (-16)^2 - 4 \times 17 \times (-12) =256+816 = 256 + 816 =1072 = 1072
y=16±107234 y = \frac{16 \pm \sqrt{1072}}{34}

STEP 9

Calculate the square root and find the values of yy:
107232.740 \sqrt{1072} \approx 32.740
y1=16+32.740341.448 y_1 = \frac{16 + 32.740}{34} \approx 1.448 y2=1632.740340.491 y_2 = \frac{16 - 32.740}{34} \approx -0.491

STEP 10

Substitute y1y_1 and y2y_2 back into x=24yx = 2 - 4y to find corresponding xx values:
For y1=1.448y_1 = 1.448:
x1=24(1.448) x_1 = 2 - 4(1.448) x1=25.792 x_1 = 2 - 5.792 x1=3.792 x_1 = -3.792
For y2=0.491y_2 = -0.491:
x2=24(0.491) x_2 = 2 - 4(-0.491) x2=2+1.964 x_2 = 2 + 1.964 x2=3.964 x_2 = 3.964

STEP 11

Round the solutions to three decimal places:
Smaller xx coordinate solution: (x1,y1)=(3.792,1.448) (x_1, y_1) = (-3.792, 1.448)
Larger xx coordinate solution: (x2,y2)=(3.964,0.491) (x_2, y_2) = (3.964, -0.491)
The solutions are:
(smaller x coordinate, y1)=(3.792,1.448)(\text{smaller } x \text{ coordinate, } y_1) = (-3.792, 1.448) (larger x coordinate, y2)=(3.964,0.491)(\text{larger } x \text{ coordinate, } y_2) = (3.964, -0.491)
