Answer:
The solution to the system is the pair (9, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi!
First, let´s write the system of equations:
-y² + 6y + x -9 = 0
6y = x +27
The solutions of the system are the pairs (x, y) that satisfy both equations.
Let´s take the second equation and solve it for x:
6y = x +27
Subtract 27 from both sides of the equation
6y - 27 = x
Now, we can replace x in the first equation and solve it for y:
-y² + 6y + x -9 = 0
-y² + 6y + 6y - 27 -9 = 0
-y² + 12y - 36 = 0
Notice that -y² + 12y - 36 = -(y - 6)², then:
-(y - 6)² = 0
y - 6 = 0
y = 6
(alternatively you can solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula).
Now let´s find the value of x:
x = 6y -27
x = 6·6 -27
x = 9
The solution to the system is the pair (9, 6)
Please see the attached figure. The point where the curves intersect is the solution to the system.
is conservative if we can find a scalar function such that
. This would require
Integrating both sides of the first equation wrt gives
Differentiating both sides of this wrt gives
but we assumed was a function of
and
, independent of
. So there is no such
and
is not conservative.
To find the work, first parameterize the path (call it ) by
for . Then
and the work is given by the line integral,
