Solve each system for x and y, expressing either value in terms of a or b, if necessary. Assume that a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0. For the linear function f(x) = mx + b, f(−2) = 11 and ƒ(3) = -9. Find m and b.

검증된 단계별 안내1
Identify the system of equations:
\[ \frac{3}{x^2} + \frac{1}{y^2} = 7 \]
\[ \frac{5}{x^2} - \frac{2}{y^2} = -3 \]
To simplify the system, introduce new variables: let
\[ a = \frac{1}{x^2} \quad \text{and} \quad b = \frac{1}{y^2} \]
This transforms the system into linear equations in terms of \(a\) and \(b\).
Rewrite the system using the new variables:
\[ 3a + b = 7 \]
\[ 5a - 2b = -3 \]
Solve the linear system for \(a\) and \(b\) using either substitution or elimination method. For example, multiply the first equation to align coefficients and eliminate one variable.
Once you find values for \(a\) and \(b\), substitute back to find \(x\) and \(y\) by solving:
\[ a = \frac{1}{x^2} \implies x^2 = \frac{1}{a} \]
\[ b = \frac{1}{y^2} \implies y^2 = \frac{1}{b} \]
Then take square roots to find \(x\) and \(y\), remembering to consider both positive and negative roots.
