Capitolo 6, Problema 23

In Exercises 19–28, solve each system by the addition method. {3x2+4y2−16=02x2−3y2−5=0\(\begin{cases}\) 3x^2 + 4y^2 - 16 = 0 \\ 2x^2 - 3y^2 - 5 = 0 \(\end{cases}\)

1
First, write down the system of equations clearly: \(3x^{2} + 4y^{2} - 16 = 0\) \(2x^{2} - 3y^{2} - 5 = 0\)
Rearrange each equation to isolate the constant on the right side: \(3x^{2} + 4y^{2} = 16\) \(2x^{2} - 3y^{2} = 5\)
To use the addition method, aim to eliminate one variable by making the coefficients of either \(x^{2}\) or \(y^{2}\) opposites. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4 to align the coefficients of \(y^{2}\): \(3(3x^{2} + 4y^{2}) = 3(16)\) which gives \(9x^{2} + 12y^{2} = 48\) \(4(2x^{2} - 3y^{2}) = 4(5)\) which gives \(8x^{2} - 12y^{2} = 20\)
Add the two new equations to eliminate \(y^{2}\): \((9x^{2} + 12y^{2}) + (8x^{2} - 12y^{2}) = 48 + 20\) This simplifies to \(17x^{2} = 68\)
Solve for \(x^{2}\) by dividing both sides by 17: \(x^{2} = \frac{68}{17}\) Once you find \(x^{2}\), substitute this value back into one of the original rearranged equations to solve for \(y^{2}\).

Addition Method (Elimination Method)

The addition method involves adding or subtracting equations to eliminate one variable, simplifying the system to a single equation with one variable. This technique is useful when equations are aligned to cancel terms, making it easier to solve for the remaining variable.
