...
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
...
The first equation represents a parabola with vertex (0, 4)
...
Step 2: Find the point(s) at which the two lines intersect
...
Therefore, the solutions to the system of equations are (1, 2) and (-1, 3)
...
Step 1: Graph both equations on the same coordinate plane
...
The second equation represents a
line with slope 1 and y-intercept -1
Step 2: Find the point(s) at which the two lines intersect
...
Therefore, the solutions to the system of equations are (0, -1) and (2, 1)
...
Step 1: Graph both equations on the same coordinate plane
...
The second equation represents a
parabola with vertex (1, 0)
...
The two lines intersect at the points (1, 0) and (3, -4)
...
Newton's/ Matrix Method: In this method, you start with an initial guess for the values of the
variables and use an iterative process to improve the accuracy of the solution
...
Example 1:
Solve the system of equations x^2 + y^2 = 4 and x + y = 2
...
Step 2: Calculate the Jacobian matrix for the system of equations at the point (x, y)
...
For
this system of equations, the Jacobian matrix is:
[2x, 2y]
[1, 1]
At the point (1, 1), the Jacobian matrix is:
[2, 2]
[1, 1]
Step 3: Calculate the difference between the function values and the target values (in this case,
0)
...
At the point (1,
1), the function values are [-3, 0]
...
The
updated values are given by the equation [x', y'] = [x, y] - J^(-1) * f, where J is the Jacobian
matrix and f is the vector of function values
...
6, 0]
= [1
...
In this example, we could stop after the first iteration because the values of x and y have
already converged to within the desired level of accuracy
...
6 and y = 1
...
Step 1: Choose an initial guess for the values of x and y, such as (1, 1)
...
The
Jacobian matrix is:
[2x, 2y]
[y, x]
At the point (1, 1), the Jacobian matrix is:
[2, 2]
[1, 1]
Step 3: Calculate the difference between the function values and the target values (in this case,
0)
...
At the point (1, 1),
the function values are [-3, 0]
...
The
updated values are given by the equation [x', y'] = [x, y] - J^(-1) * f, where J is the Jacobian
matrix and f is the vector of function values
...
6, 0]
= [1
...
Bisection method: In this method, you start with two values for the variables that are known to
bracket the solution (i
...
the solution lies between them)
...
The process is repeated until the solution is found to the desired
level of accuracy
...
Example 1:
Solve the system of equations x^2 + y^2 = 4 and xy = 1
...
Step 2: Evaluate the function at the midpoint of the interval
...
At the point (1, 1), the function values are [-3, 0]
...
If both function values have the same sign, then the root must lie in one of
the subintervals formed by dividing the original interval in half
...
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the interval is small enough to be considered the
approximate solution
...
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 1 and y = 1, with an error of +/- 0
...
Example 2:
Solve the system of equations x^2 + y^2 = 4 and x + y = 2
...
Step 2: Evaluate the function at the midpoint of the interval
...
At the point (0, 0), the function values are [-4, 0]
...
If both function values have the same sign, then the root must lie in one of
the subintervals formed by dividing the original interval in half
...
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the interval is small enough to be considered the
approximate solution
...
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 0 and y = 0, with an error of +/- 1
...
Infinite solutions
In some cases, it is possible for a system of simultaneous equations to have an infinite number
of solutions
...
For example, the system of equations x + y =
4 and 2x + 2y = 8 has an infinite number of solutions, because the second equation is simply
the first equation multiplied by 2
...
This
occurs when the equations are contradictory, meaning that there is no set of values that can
satisfy both equations simultaneously
...
Nonlinear equations
Simultaneous equations can also be nonlinear, meaning that they contain terms that are not a
linear combination of the variables
...
Chapter 6: Applications Of Solving Simultaneous Equation
Simultaneous equations are a set of equations that contain multiple variables, and the goal is to
find the values of those variables that make all the equations true at the same time
...
One common method for solving simultaneous equations is by finding the intersection of two
lines
...
To find the intersection of two lines, we first need to solve each equation for one of the variables
...
Another way to solve simultaneous equations is by determining the equilibrium of a system
...
To find the equilibrium of a system, we first need to identify the variables and the equations that
describe their interactions
...
Once we have identified the variables and equations, we can set all the derivatives (rates of
change) equal to zero to find the equilibrium points
...
For example, consider a simple mechanical system with two objects connected by a spring
...
The equilibrium points of this system occur when the spring
force is zero, which means x1 = x2
...
