To solve this system of simultaneous equations, we can start by substituting the first equation into the second equation to eliminate one of the variables.The first equation is y = x^2.
The second equation is y - 5x + 4 = 0.
If we substitute the first equation into the second equation, we get:
x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0We can then solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)Where a = 1, b = -5, and c = 4. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
x = (5 +/- sqrt(25 - 16)) / 2
= (5 +/- sqrt(9)) / 2
= (5 +/- 3) / 2
= 8 / 2 or 2 / 2
= 4 or 1
These are the values of x that solve the system of equations. To find the corresponding values of y, we can substitute these values of x back into either of the original equations.If x = 4, then y = (4)^2 = 16.If x = 1, then y = (1)^2 = 1.
Therefore, the solutions to the system of equations are (4, 16) and (1, 1).
