To solve the system of equations given by:
- \( 4x - y = 2 \)
- \( x^2 + y^2 = 3 \)
we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Solve the first equation for \( y \).
From the first equation, we can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \):
\[ y = 4x - 2 \]
Step 2: Substitute \( y \) into the second equation.
Now, we substitute \( y \) from the first equation into the second equation:
\[ x^2 + (4x - 2)^2 = 3 \]
Step 3: Expand and simplify.
Expanding \( (4x - 2)^2 \):
\[ (4x - 2)^2 = 16x^2 - 16x + 4 \]
Now, substitute this into the second equation:
\[ x^2 + 16x^2 - 16x + 4 = 3 \]
Combine like terms:
\[ 17x^2 - 16x + 4 = 3 \]
Subtract 3 from both sides:
\[ 17x^2 - 16x + 1 = 0 \]
Step 4: Use the quadratic formula.
To solve the quadratic equation \( 17x^2 - 16x + 1 = 0 \), we apply the quadratic formula:
\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]
Here, \( a = 17 \), \( b = -16 \), and \( c = 1 \):
\[ b^2 - 4ac = (-16)^2 - 4 \cdot 17 \cdot 1 = 256 - 68 = 188 \]
Now, substitute values into the quadratic formula:
\[ x = \frac{16 \pm \sqrt{188}}{34} \]
Step 5: Simplify \( \sqrt{188} \).
Finding \( \sqrt{188} \):
\[ \sqrt{188} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 47} = 2\sqrt{47} \]
So our expression for \( x \) becomes:
\[ x = \frac{16 \pm 2\sqrt{47}}{34} = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{47}}{17} \]
Step 6: Find corresponding \( y \) values.
Now substitute back to find \( y \) values using \( y = 4x - 2 \):
- For \( x = \frac{8 + \sqrt{47}}{17} \):
\[ y = 4\left(\frac{8 + \sqrt{47}}{17}\right) - 2 = \frac{32 + 4\sqrt{47}}{17} - 2 = \frac{32 + 4\sqrt{47} - 34}{17} = \frac{-2 + 4\sqrt{47}}{17} \]
- For \( x = \frac{8 - \sqrt{47}}{17} \):
\[ y = 4\left(\frac{8 - \sqrt{47}}{17}\right) - 2 = \frac{32 - 4\sqrt{47}}{17} - 2 = \frac{32 - 4\sqrt{47} - 34}{17} = \frac{-2 - 4\sqrt{47}}{17} \]
Step 7: Final solutions.
Thus, the solutions to the system of equations are:
- \( \left( \frac{8 + \sqrt{47}}{17}, \frac{-2 + 4\sqrt{47}}{17} \right) \)
- \( \left( \frac{8 - \sqrt{47}}{17}, \frac{-2 - 4\sqrt{47}}{17} \right) \)
These are the points of intersection of the line and the circle defined by the given equations.
