System of Non Linear Equations

This document introduces nonlinear systems of equations, which contain one or more nonlinear equations. The key methods for solving nonlinear systems are substitution and elimination. Nonlinear systems can have multiple solutions, a single solution, or no solution depending on where the graphs of the equations intersect. Example problems demonstrate solving systems using substitution, and verifying solutions by graphing. Exercises at the end provide additional practice solving nonlinear systems.

4 Nonlinear Systems
In this final section, we want to learn how to solve systems of equations that are not necessarily all linear. We call these non-linear systems of equations.

Definition: Non-linear system of equations


A system of equations where one or more equations involved is not a line. We primarily use the substitution method to solve a non-linear system. However, sometimes elimination will work as well. Also, just as before, the solution to a non-linear system is all the points of intersection of the graphs of the equations. Therefore, since we now have more that just lines, we can have a variety of numbers of solutions. The graph can intersect once, twice, several times or not at all. Therefore, we should always verify the solution(s) to a system by looking at the graph. Example 1: Solve the system.

x 2 + y 2 = 100 a. yx=2

b.

x 2 + y 2 = 25 y2 = x + 5

x 2 + 2 y 2 = 12 c. xy = 4

Solution: a. We will solve this system by substitution. So we start by solving the bottom equation for y and then substitute it into the top equation. We get

yx=2 y = x+2

x + y 2 = 100 x 2 + ( x + 2 ) = 100
2 2

x 2 + x 2 + 4 x + 4 = 100 2 x 2 + 2 x 48 = 0 2( x + 8)( x 6) = 0 x = 8, 6
So we have two different x values. This means we should have two points of intersection. Lets now find the y values and verify with a graph.

2 x 2 + 4 x 96 = 0

y = x+2

y = x+2

y =6+2 y = 8 + 2 y =8 y = 6 So our solutions are ( 8, 6) and (6, 8) . We clearly have a circle and a line, thus we
can easily graph them together and get

b. Again we will use substitution to solve. This time notice that the bottom equation is already solved for y2 and we have a y2 in the top equation. Thus, that is the substitution we will make. We get

x 2 + y 2 = 25 y2 = x + 5

x 2 + ( x + 5) = 25

Now we solve for x and then solve for y.

x 2 + (x + 5) = 25 x 2 + x 20 = 0

(x + 5)(x 4) = 0
x = 5, 4
We substitute these back in to get y. We get

y 2 = 5 + 5 y2 = 0 y=0

y2 = 4 + 5

y2 = 9 y = 3 So we have three different solutions ( 5, 0 ) , (4, 3) and (4, 3) . Lets verify with a
graph. We have here a parabola and a circle. We get

c.

Again, we will use substitution to solve. We need to decide which variable to solve for first. It seems that x or y on the bottom equation would be easiest. So we will solve for x. We get

xy = 4 x =

4 y
2

Now we substitute that into the first equation and solve. We have

4 2 x + 2 y = 12 + 2 y = 12 y 16 + 2 y 2 = 12 2 y
2 2

We will have to clear the fractions and solve as we did in chapter 10, that is, using a substitution.

16 2 2 y2 = y (12) y2 + 2y 4 16 + 2 y = 12 y 2 2 y 4 12 y 2 + 16 = 0 2u 12u + 16 = 0
2

Substitute u = y2

2 u 2 6u + 8 = 0 2(u 4)(u 2) = 0 u = 4, 2 y2 = 4 y = 2
substitute these in to x =

y =2
2

Re-substitute u = y2

y= 2

So since we have four different y values we will have to find x for each one. We

4 to get y
x= = 4 2 2 2 x= 4 2 2 2

x=

4 2 =2

x=

4 2 = 2

4 2 2 =2 2

4 2 2 = 2 2 =

So we have four solutions, (2, 2 ), ( 2, 2 ), 2 2 ,

2 and 2 2 , 2 .

Lets verify with a graph. We have an ellipse and a basic function ( xy = 4 y = So we have

4 ). x

Example 2: Solve the system. a.

y = 3x y = 32 x 2

b.

y = log 2 ( x + 1)

y = 5 log 2 ( x 3)

Solution: a. This time solving is a little more complicated. There are a variety of direction we could go, however, we are going to start by noticing 3
2x

= (3 x ) . So our system really is


2

y = 3x

y = 3x

( )

2
2

We can see clearly we will substitute the top equation into the bottom. That is, put y in for 3x. We get

y = (y) 2 y = y2 2

y2 y 2 = 0 ( y 2)( y + 1) = 0 y = 2, 1
Now we substitute these values back in to get

2 = 3x x = log 3 2

1 = 3x

However, the second equation is impossible (recall, exponential functions are always positive). Thus, that solution must be omitted. So we have a solution of log 2 3, 2 .

b. Lastly, since these equations are both already solved for y, we can simply set them equal to one another. Then we are left with a logarithmic equation to solve. We get

log 2 ( x + 1) + log 2 ( x 3) = 5 log 2 ( x + 1)( x 3) = 5

log 2 ( x + 1) = 5 log 2 ( x 3)

(x + 1)(x 3) = 2 5
x 2 2 x 3 = 32 x 2 2 x 35 = 0

(x 7 )(x + 5) = 0
x = 7, 5
However, -5 cannot be a solution since is doesnt even check in the equation. Thus we only have x = 7. Now we substitute this back into either original equation to get the y value. We choose the first equation.

y = log 2 (7 + 1) = log 2 8 =3

So the solution is

(7, 3) .
