Solving a system of nonlinear equations using elimination
We have seen that substitution is often the preferred method when a system of equations includes a linear equation and a nonlinear equation. However, when both equations in the system have like variables of the second degree, solving them using elimination by addition is often easier than substitution. Generally,
elimination is a far simpler method when the system involves only two equations in two variables (a two-by-two system), rather than a three-by-three system, as there are fewer steps. As an example, we will investigate the possible types of solutions when solving a system of equations representing a
circle and an ellipse.
Possible types of solutions for the points of intersection of a circle and an ellipse
[link] illustrates possible solution sets for a system of equations involving a circle and an
ellipse .
No solution. The circle and ellipse do not intersect. One shape is inside the other or the circle and the ellipse are a distance away from the other.
One solution. The circle and ellipse are tangent to each other, and intersect at exactly one point.
Two solutions. The circle and the ellipse intersect at two points.
Three solutions. The circle and the ellipse intersect at three points.
Four solutions. The circle and the ellipse intersect at four points.
the transfer of energy by a force that causes an object to be displaced; the product of the component of the force in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of the displacement

A body is projected upward at an angle 45° 18minutes with the horizontal with an initial speed of 40km per second. In hoe many seconds will the body reach the ground then how far from the point of projection will it strike. At what angle will the horizontal will strike
Suppose hydrogen and oxygen are diffusing through air. A small amount of each is released simultaneously. How much time passes before the hydrogen is 1.00 s ahead of the oxygen? Such differences in arrival times are used as an analytical tool in gas chromatography.
