Title: Simultaneous Equation
Description: Simultaneous equations are a set of equations that contain multiple variables and are solved simultaneously. These types of equations are used to model real-world situations where more than one unknown is present. we will explore each of these methods in more details and learn how to apply them to solve simultaneous equations. We will also discuss the use of matrices and determinants in solving simultaneous equations and introduce the concept of systems of linear equations. By the end of this guide, you should have a solid understanding of simultaneous equations and be able to confidently solve them using a variety of methods.

...
These types of equations are used to model real-world situations where more
than one unknown is present
...
Simultaneous equations can be represented in a variety of forms, including linear, quadratic,
and higher-order polynomials
...
To solve simultaneous equations, we need to find the values of x and y that make both
equations true at the same time
...
Graphing is a visual method that involves plotting the equations on the coordinate plane and
finding the point of intersection, which is the solution to the simultaneous equations
...
This allows us to solve for the remaining variable
...
In this chapter, we will explore each of these methods in more detail and learn how to apply
them to solve simultaneous equations
...
By the end of this chapter, you should have a solid understanding of simultaneous
equations and be able to confidently solve them using a variety of methods
...
In this chapter, we will explore the different types of
simultaneous equations that can arise in practice and provide examples of each type
...
These equations are called linear because they represent a straight
line on the coordinate plane when graphed
...
We can solve this system of linear simultaneous equations
using any of the methods discussed in the previous chapter, such as graphing, substitution, or
elimination
...
Linear equations
can have constants (like the 1 in the first equation), coefficients (like the 2 in the first equation),
and variables (like x and y), and they can be written in slope-intercept form (like the first
equation) or standard form (like the second equation)
...
It
also has a constant of 9
...
For example, if you set x = 1 and y = 1, the equation would become
6(1) + 3(1) = 9, which is true
...
Quadratic Simultaneous Equations
Quadratic simultaneous equations are equations that can be written in the form Ax^2 + Bx + C =
0, where A, B, and C are constants
...
Example1:
x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0
x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0
In this example, the first equation represents the parabola y = x^2 - 3x + 2 and the second
equation represents the parabola y = x^2 + 2x - 3
...
Example 2 :
y = x^2 + 2x + 1
x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0
y = x^2 - 3x + 2
x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0
y = -x^2 + 4x - 1
In each of these equations, the highest power of the variable (x or y) is 2
...
To solve a quadratic equation, you can use methods such
as factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula
...
To solve this equation, you could use the quadratic formula, which is:
x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)
Plugging in the values from the equation above, you would get:
x = (2 +/- sqrt(2^2 - 4(3)(-5))) / (2(3))
Simplifying this expression gives:
x = (-2 +/- sqrt(4 + 60)) / 6
Which simplifies to:
x = (-2 +/- sqrt(64)) / 6
And finally:
x = (-2 +/- 8) / 6
So the solutions to this quadratic equation are x = 1 and x = -3
...
These equations can be more complex to solve, but can still be tackled
using the methods discussed in the previous chapter, such as graphing or substitution
...
To solve this system of higher-order
polynomial simultaneous equations, we could try graphing the equations and finding the points
of intersection, or we could try substituting one equation into the other to eliminate one of the
variables
...
It's also possible to use numerical methods, such as Newton's method, to find
approximate solutions
...
For
example, you could substitute x^2 + y^2 = 4 into the first equation to get x^5 + y^5 = 25 -> (x^2
+ y^2)^2 - 2xy(x^2 - y^2) = 25 -> 4 - 2xy(x^2 - y^2) = 25
...
Alternatively, you could substitute x^2 + y^2 = 4 into the first equation to get x^5 + y^5 =
25 -> (x^2 + y^2)^2 - 2xy(x^2 - y^2) = 25 -> 4 - 2xy(x^2 - y^2) = 25
...
Alternatively, you could eliminate x or y by adding or subtracting the two equations to get
a new equation in terms of just one variable, and then solve for that variable
...
In summary, simultaneous equations can take many forms, including linear, quadratic, and
higher-order polynomials
...
In the next chapter, we will discuss the
methods used to solve simultaneous equations in more detail and provide examples of how to
apply these methods in practice
...
Algebraic methods:
Substitution: In this method, you solve one of the equations for one of the variables and
substitute the expression into the other equation
...
The value of the other variable
can then be found by substituting this value back into one of the original equations
...
Step 1: Solve the first equation for x
...
4((7 - 3y)/2) + 5y = 9
7 - 3y + 5y = 9
2y = 2
y=1
Step 3: Substitute the value of y back into one of the original equations to find the value of x
...
Example 2:
Solve the system of equations x^2 + y^2 = 4 and x + y = 2
...
x+y=2
y=2-x
Step 2: Substitute the expression for y into the first equation
...
x = 0 or x = 2
If x = 0, then y = 2
...
Therefore, the solutions to the system of equations are
(0, 2) and (2, 0)
...
This equation can then be solved to
find the value of the remaining variable, and the value of the other variable can be found by
substituting this value back into one of the original equations
...
Step 1: Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3
...
6x + 8y - 18x - 24y = 20 - 60
-12x - 16y = -40
Step 3: Solve for y
...
5
Step 4: Substitute the value of y back into one of the original equations to find the value of x
...
5) = 10
3x + 10 = 10
3x = 0
x=0
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 0 and y = 2
...
Example 2:
Solve the system of equations x - y = 3 and 3x - 3y = 9
...
(x - y = 3) + (3x - 3y = 9) -> 4x - 4y = 12
Step 2: Solve for x
...
x-y=3
3-y=3
y=0
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 3 and y = 0
...
The coordinates of this point represent the solution to
the system of equations
