SYSTEMS OF NONLINEAR EQUATIONS

Background Information for Learners

When one thinks about system of equation, he/she simply recalls a set of many equations. These
equations could be a combination of at least one equation that is not linear and is called a nonlinear
system. Similar with solving system of linear equations, the technique used to solve nonlinear equations
also involves substitution, elimination and graphical.

Example 1

By Substitution Method, solve the system:

𝑥2 + 𝑦 = 5
{
𝑥 − 𝑦 = 15
Solution

Express the second equation by isolating the variable y and substitute it to the first equation.
𝑦 = 𝑥 − 15
𝑥 2 + (𝑥 − 15) = 5
𝑥 2 + 𝑥 − 20 = 0
(𝑥 + 5)(𝑥 − 4) = 0
𝑥 = −5 𝑜𝑟 𝑥 = 4
If 𝑥 = −5, upon substitution to any of the two equations, we get 𝑦 = −20. Meanwhile, if 𝑥 = 4,
𝑦 = −11

As a result, the solution set of the system is {(−5, −20), (4, −11)}.

Example 2

Solve the system by Elimination Method

𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 34
{
−2𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 7
Solution:
We simply eliminate 𝑦 2 by multiplying first the integer -1 to the any of the equations but here we choose
the first equation.
(−1)(𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 ) = (34)(−1)
−𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 = −34
We then add the product to the second equation
−𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 = −34
−2𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 7
2
−3𝑥 = −27

𝑥 = ±3
To eliminate 𝑥 2 , we multiply 2 to the first equation
(2)(𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 ) = (34)(2)
2𝑥 2 + 2𝑦 2 = 68
We then add the product to the second equation
2𝑥 2 + 2𝑦 2 = 68
2𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 7
3𝑦 2 = 75

𝑦 = ±5

Or when 𝑥 = ±3,
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 34
(±3)2 + 𝑦 2 = 34
𝑦 2 = 25

𝑦 = ±5
Therefore, the solution set of the given system is {(−3, − 5), (3, − 5), (−3, 5), (3, 5)}.

Example 3

By Graphical Method, solve the system:

(𝑥 − 3)2 + (𝑦 − 5)2 = 10
{
𝑥 2 + (𝑦 + 1)2 = 25

The center of the first circle is (3, 5), the second circle (0, −1). Using table of values, we can be able
to determine the intersection points of both circles which are the solution set of the given system.

Using the equation, (𝑥 − 3)2 + (𝑦 − 5)2 = 10

x 4 3 2 1 0
y 2 1.84 2 2.55 4
Using the equation, 𝑥 2 + (𝑦 + 1)2 = 25
x 4 3 2 1 0
y 2 3 3.58 3.9 4

Notice that the two circles intersect at points (4, 2) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 (0, 4). Hence, the solution set is {(4, 2), (0, 4)}.

Applications of Systems of Nonlinear Equations

The sum of two integers is 24 and the sum of their squares is 306. Find the integers.

Let x and y be the two integers. Thus, +𝑦 = 24 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 306. To find x and y, we solve
𝑥 + 𝑦 = 24
the nonlinear system { 2
𝑥 + 𝑦 2 = 306

Using the substitution method, 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 24

𝑦 = −𝑥 + 24
Thus, 𝑥 2 + (−𝑥 + 24)2 = 306
𝑥 2 + 𝑥 2 − 48𝑥 + 576 = 306
2𝑥 2 − 48𝑥 + 270 = 0
𝑥 2 − 24𝑥 + 135 = 0
(𝑥 − 15)(𝑥 − 9) = 0
38
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.
 𝑥 = 15 𝑜𝑟 𝑥 = 9
If 𝑥 = 15 then y = 9 and if 𝑥 = 9 then y = 15. Therefore, the two integers are 9 and 15.
