For $x, y$ are real numbers

$x^2 - xy + y^2 = 1$

$x^2 + xy + 2y^2 = 4$

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

Could someone help me solve this system of equations?

#

my teacher teaches this method that for every reflecting expressions of x and y, then you can turn it into something only has numbers, x + y and xy

#

idk if i am saying the right term

#

i can convert the first expression, but the second expression cannot be converted

#

uh

#

what happens if you subtract the rows

blissful bridge
#

2xy + y^2 = 3

#

not useful

north basin

#

y(2x + y) = 3

#

2x + y = 3/y

#

2x = 3/y - y

#

x = (3/y - y)/2

#

you want me to sub that into one of the equations

#

???

#

what does that have to do

#

i didn't learn that yet

north basin
#

2xy + y² = 3
y² + 2xy - 3 = 0

blissful bridge
#

but i knew it already

#

y^2 + 2xy - 3 = 0

#

y^2 + 2xy + 1 - 4 = 0

#

(y + 1)^2 = 4

#

oh thanks

north basin
#

y = (-2x (+-) sqrt(4x² - 12)) / 2

blissful bridge
#

💀

#

can you prove the formula?

#

because i haven't learned it yet

#

OH WAIT

#

THAT DOES NOT WORK 😭

#

i think i tried that already

#

4x^2 - 4xy + 4y^2 = 4

steep hornet

#

4x^2 - 4xy + 4y^2 = x^2 + xy + 2y^2

#

3x^2 - 5xy + 2y^2 = 0

#

okay

steep hornet
blissful bridge
#

3x^2 - 3xy - 2xy + 2y^2 = 0
3x(x - y) - 2y(x - y) = 0
(x - y)(3x - 2y) = 0

#

I would just use quadratic formula to get x in terms of y then equate them

blissful bridge
#

x = y

#

or 3x - 2y = 0

#

@steep hornet

steep hornet
blissful bridge
#

okay

#

x = y then x^2 - x^2 + y^2 = 1
y^2 = 1 => x = y = 1 or -1

#

3x - 2y = 0

#

x = 2y/3

#

thanks so much!
