How do you solve the system x2+y2+8x+7=0 and x2+y2+4x+4y5=0 and x2+y2=1?

1 Answer

There are no points where all three equations intersect.

Explanation:

We have the following equations:

E1:x2+y2+8x+7=0
E2:x2+y2+4x+4y5=0
E3:x2+y2=1

Let's substitute in E3 into E1 and E2, making the x2andy2 terms equal to 1:

E1:1+8x+7=0
E2:1+4x+4y5=0

Now let's solve E1:

E1:8x+8=0

E1:8x=8

E1:x=1

Now let's solve E2:

E2:1+4x+4y5=0

E2:1+4(1)+4y5=0

E2:14+4y5=0

E2:8+4y=0

E2:4y=8

E2:y=2

And now let's check our work by substituting into E3:

E3:x2+y2=1

E3:(1)2+(2)2=1

E3:1+41

E3:51

So there is no solution in this system that satisfies all three equations.

We can see this in the following graphs:

This is the graph of E1:x2+y2+8x+7=0:

graph{x^2+y^2+8x+7=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

This is the graph of E2:x2+y2+4x+4y5=0:

graph{x^2+y^2+4x+4y-5=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

This is the graph of E3:x2+y2=1:

graph{x^2+y^2=1 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

As you can see, there are no points where all three graphs intersect.
