10-7 Solving Nonlinear Systems
A nonlinear system of equations is a system in
which at least one of the equations is not linear.
You have been studying one class of nonlinear
equations, the conic sections.
The solution set of a system of equations is the set
of points that make all of the equations in the
system true, or where the graphs intersect. For
systems of nonlinear equations, you must be aware
of the number of possible solutions.
Holt Algebra 2

You can use your graphing calculator to find solutions
to systems of nonlinear equations and to check
algebraic solutions.

4x + 9y = 145
by graphing.
The graph of the first equation is a circle, and the
graph of the second equation is an ellipse, so there
may be as many as four points of intersection.

Step 1 Solve each equation for y.
Solve the first equation for y.
Solve the second equation for y.
Step 2 Graph the system on your calculator, and
use the intersect feature to find the solution set.

equation.
Step 2 Use substitution.
(2y + 52) + y2 = 100
y2 + 2y – 48 = 0
(y + 8) (y – 6) = 0
y = –8 or y = 6
Holt Algebra 2
Substitute this value into the
first equation.
Simplify, and set equal to 0.

Step 3 Substitute –8 and 6 into x2 = 2y + 52 to
find values of x.
x2 = 2(–8) + 52 = 36
x = ±6
(6, –8) and (–6, –8) are solutions.
x2 = 2(6) + 52 = 64
x = ±8
(8, 6) and (–8, 6) are solutions.
The solution set of the system is {(6, –8) (–6, –8),
(8, 6), (–8, 6)}.
