Capitolo 6, Problema 19

In Exercises 19–28, solve each system by the addition method. {x2+y2=13x2−y2=5\(\begin{cases}\) x^2 + y^2 = 13 \\ x^2 - y^2 = 5 \(\end{cases}\)

Identify the given system of equations: \\ \(x^2 + y^2 = 13\) and \(x^2 - y^2 = 5\).
Add the two equations together to eliminate \(y^2\(: \\ \)(x^2 + y^2) + (x^2 - y^2) = 13 + 5\).
Simplify the resulting equation: \\ \(2x^2 = 18\).
Solve for $x^2\( by dividing both sides by 2: \\ \)x^2 = 9$.
Substitute \(x^2 = 9\) back into one of the original equations (for example, \(x^2 + y^2 = 13\)) to solve for \(y^2\), then find \(y\).

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 the coefficients of a variable are opposites or can be made opposites by multiplication.
