Exercise #6

Solve the following system of equations:

{xy=616xy=9 \begin{cases} \sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y}=\sqrt{\sqrt{61}-6} \\ xy=9 \end{cases}

Video Solution

Answer

x=6122.5 x=\frac{\sqrt{61}}{2}-2.5

y=612+2.5 y=\frac{\sqrt{61}}{2}+2.5

or

x=612+2.5 x=\frac{\sqrt{61}}{2}+2.5

y=6122.5 y=\frac{\sqrt{61}}{2}-2.5
