Holt Algebra 2 10-7 Solving Nonlinear Systems Vocabulary nonlinear system of equations Holt Algebra 2 10-7 Solving Nonlinear Systems A nonlinear system of equations is a system in which at least one of the equations is not linear. You have been studying one class of nonlinear equations, the conic sections. The solution set of a system of equations is the set of points that make all of the equations in the system true, or where the graphs intersect. For systems of nonlinear equations, you must be aware of the number of possible solutions. Holt Algebra 2 10-7 Solving Nonlinear Systems You can use your graphing calculator to find solutions to systems of nonlinear equations and to check algebraic solutions. Holt Algebra 2 10-7 Solving Nonlinear Systems Example 1: Solving a Nonlinear System by Graphing Solve x2 + y2 = 25 2 2 4x + 9y = 145 by graphing. The graph of the first equation is a circle, and the graph of the second equation is an ellipse, so there may be as many as four points of intersection. Holt Algebra 2 10-7 Solving Nonlinear Systems Example 1 Continued Step 1 Solve each equation for y. Solve the first equation for y. Solve the second equation for y. Step 2 Graph the system on your calculator, and use the intersect feature to find the solution set. The points of intersection are (–4, –3), (–4, 3), (4, –3), (4, 3).
