Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

(This gives an instruction to the facilitator to orient the learners and support the
parents, elder sibling etc. of the learners on how to use the module. Furthermore, this
also instructs the facilitator to remind the learners to use separate sheets in
answering the pre-test, self-check exercises, and post-test.)

For the learner:

(This communicates directly to the learners and hence, must be interactive. This
contains instructions on how to use the module. The structure and the procedure of
working through the module are explained here. This also gives an overview of the
content of the module. If standard symbols are used to represent some parts of the
module such as the objectives, input, practice task and the like they are defined and
explained in this portion.)

 What I Need to Know

CONTENT STANDARDS: The learners demonstrate an understanding

of key concepts of conic sections and system of nonlinear equations.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: The learners shall be able to model

situations appropriately and solve problems accurately using conic
sections and systems of nonlinear equations.

The module is divided into three lessons, namely:

 Lesson 1 – Solving systems of nonlinear equations using graphical method.
 Lesson 2 – Solving systems of nonlinear equations using elimination
method.
 Lesson 3 – Solving systems of nonlinear equations using substitution
method.
 Lesson 4 – Word Problems

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Illustrate systems of nonlinear equations.
2. Determine the solutions of systems of nonlinear equations using
techniques such as substitution, elimination, and graphing.
3. Solve situational problems involving systems of nonlinear equations

Lesson System of Nonlinear

1 Equations using Graphical
Method
What’s In

Let us define a linear equation. A linear equation is an algebraic

equation in which each term is either a constant or a product of a
constant and ( the first power of ) a single variable. Mathematically it is
represented by a 1 x 1+ a2 x 2 +a3 x 3+ …+a n−1 x n−1+ an x n =c where a n and c are
constant while x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ,… , x n−1 , x n are unknown variable.

On the other hand, anything that is not linear equation is nonlinear

equations some examples are the conic sections and cubic sections. In
this module, we consider nonlinear systems of equations, that is , systems
in which at least one of the equations is not linear. There are different
ways to establish the solution for the systems of nonlinear equations such
as substitution, elimination, and graphical method.

There are three possible outcomes for systems of nonlinear

equations: a finite number of solutions, an infinite number of solutions,
and no solution.

 What’s New

Let us now discuss how to determine the solution of a given system

of nonlinear equation using graphical method.

Example # 1: Sketch the graphs of the equations x 2+ y 2=25 and 2 x+ y =10.

Solution:
The graph of the equation x 2+ y 2=25 is a circle with center at the origin
and a radius of 5. While the graph of the equation 2 x+ y =10 is a straight line
with the y-intercept at 10.
After graphing the circle and the line as shown in Figure 1, note that
there are two intersection points, P1∧P2 with the coordinates of ( 3 , 4 ) and
x=3 x=5
( 5 , 0 ). Thus, the solutions to the given system are :
y=4{and { y=0

x 2+ y 2=25 P1

2 x+ y =10

Example # 2: Sketch the graphs of the equations y=x 2 and x= y 2.

Solution:
The graph of the equation y=x 2 is a parabola that opens upward and
with a vertex at the point of origin, while the equation x= y 2 is also a
parabola that opens to the right and with the vertex at the point of origin.
After graphing the two parabolas as shown in Figure 2, note that there
are two intersection points, P1∧P2 with the coordinates of ( 0 , 0 ) and ( 1 ,
x=0 x=1
{
1 ). Thus, the solutions to the given system are :
y=0
and {y=1

y=x 2

x= y 2

Example # 3: Sketch the graphs of the equations x 2+ y 2=90 and x 2= y .

Solution:
The graph of the equation x 2+ y 2=90 is a circle with center at the origin
and a radius of √ 90 or 9.5. While the graph of the equation x 2= y is a
parabola that opens upward and with a vertex at the point of origin.
After graphing the circle and the parabola as shown in Figure 3, note
that there are two intersection points, P1∧P2 with the coordinates of ( 3 , 9 )
x=3 x=−3
{
and ( -3 , 9 ). Thus, the solutions to the given system are :
y=9
and {
y=9

x 2= y

x 2+ y 2=90

Example #4 : Sketch the graphs of the equations y=2 x 2+ 3 x +2 and

y=x 2 +2 x+1.

Solution:
The graph of the equation y=2 x 2+ 3 x +2is a parabola that opens upward
−3 7
with the vertex a ( )
, . While the graph of the equation y=x 2 +2 x+1 is a
4 8
parabola that opens upward and with a vertex at (-1 , 0 ).
After graphing the two parabolas as shown in Figure 4, note that the
two graphs do not intersect at any point. Since there is no intersection, then
there is no solution.
