1. The first equation gives you an equivalent for y. Use that in the second equation.
.. 4x + (x+5) = 20
.. 5x + 5 = 20 . . . . collect terms
.. 5x = 15 . . . . . . . . subtract 5
.. x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
The first equation tells you how to find y.
.. y = x + 5
.. y = 3 + 5 = 8
The solution is (x, y) = (3, 8).


2. Add 2x to the first equation to get an expression for y.
.. y = 3 + 2x
Use this in the second equation.
.. 6x - 3(3 +2x) = 21
.. 6x - 9 - 6x = 21 . . . eliminate parentheses
.. -9 = 21 . . . . . . . . . . false. There is no solution to this set of equations.


3. Subtract 2y from the first equation to get an expression for x.
.. x = -1 - 2y
Use this in the second equation.
.. 4(-1 -2y) -4y = 20 . . . . . substitute for x
.. -4 -8y -4y = 20 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. -12y = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 4
.. y = -2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by -12
.. x = -1 -2*(-2) . . . . . . . . . use the equation for x to find x
.. x = 3
The solution is (x, y) = (3, -2).


Word Problem
a) Let f and n represent the total dollar cost of membership in the "fee" and "no-fee" gyms. Let m represent the number of months of membership.
.. f = 150 + 35m . . . . $150 plus $35 for each month
.. n = 60m . . . . . . . . . $60 each month

b) The costs will be the same when f = n.
.. f = n
.. 150 +35m = 60m
.. 150 = 25m . . . . . . . . . subtract 35m
.. 6 = m . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 25
The cost of membership will be the same after 6 months.
The cost will be $60*6 = $150 +$35*6 = $360.

c) If Cathy cancels in 5 months, the no-fee gym will cost less.
.. n = 60*5 = 300
.. f = 150 +35*5 = 325

Find the points at which the graph of 2x^2+2y^2- 20x +12y +3 = 0 has a vertical and horizontal tangent
____ [38]

Compute the derivative d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> and check where it is zero (for horizontal tangents) or undefined (for vertical tangents).

2<em>x</em>² + 2<em>y</em>² - 20<em>x</em> + 12<em>y</em> + 3 = 0

d/d<em>x</em> [2<em>x</em>² + 2<em>y</em>² - 20<em>x</em> + 12<em>y</em> + 3] = 0

4<em>x</em> + 4<em>y</em> d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> - 20 + 12 d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 0

(4<em>y</em> + 12) d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 20 - 4<em>x</em>

(<em>y</em> + 3) d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 5 - <em>x</em>

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = (5 - <em>x</em>) / (<em>y</em> + 3)

• Horizontal tangents:

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 0   →   5 - <em>x</em> = 0   →   <em>x</em> = 5

Solve for <em>y</em> when <em>x</em> = 5 :

2•5² + 2<em>y</em>² - 20•5 + 12<em>y</em> + 3 = 0

2<em>y</em>² + 12<em>y</em> - 47 = 0

<em>y</em> = (-6 ± √(130))/2

So there are two horizontal tangents at the points

(5, (-6 - √(130))/2) and (5, (-6 + √(130))/2)

• Vertical tangents:

1/(d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em>) = 0   →   <em>y</em> + 3 = 0   →   <em>y</em> = -3

Solve for <em>x</em> when <em>y</em> = -3 :

2<em>x</em>² + 2•(-3)² - 20<em>x</em> + 12•(-3) + 3 = 0

2<em>x</em>² - 20<em>x</em> - 15 = 0

<em>x</em> = (10 ± √(130))/2

So there are two vertical tangents at the points

((10 - √(130))/2, -3) and ((10 + √(130))/2, -3)

Alternatively, you can complete the square to identify the equation of a circle:

2<em>x</em>² + 2<em>y</em>² - 20<em>x</em> + 12<em>y</em> + 3 = 0

2 (<em>x</em>² - 10<em>x</em>) + 2 (<em>y</em>² + 6<em>y</em>) = -3

2 (<em>x</em>² - 10<em>x</em> + 25 - 25) + 2 (<em>y</em>² + 6<em>y</em> + 9 - 9) = -3

2 (<em>x</em> - 5)² - 50 + 2 (<em>y</em> + 3)² - 18 = -3

2 (<em>x</em> - 5)² + 2 (<em>y</em> + 3)² = 65

(<em>x</em> - 5)² + (<em>y</em> + 3)² = 65/2

which is a circle centered at (5, -3) with radius √(65/2). The horizontal tangents occur at the points where the <em>x</em> term vanishes (<em>x</em> = 5), and the vertical ones where <em>y</em> vanishes (<em>y</em> = -3).
