To solve the system of equations:
- \( X_1 \times X_2 = -16 \) (Equation 1)
- \( X_1 + X_2 = 11.25 \) (Equation 2)
We can express \( X_2 \) in terms of \( X_1 \) using Equation 2:
\[ X_2 = 11.25 - X_1 \]
Now, we can substitute this expression for \( X_2 \) into Equation 1:
\[ X_1 \times (11.25 - X_1) = -16 \]
Expanding this gives:
\[ 11.25X_1 - X_1^2 = -16 \]
Rearranging the equation leads to:
\[ X_1^2 - 11.25X_1 - 16 = 0 \]
Now we can solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:
\[ X_1 = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]
In this case, \( a = 1 \), \( b = -11.25 \), and \( c = -16 \):
\[ X_1 = \frac{-(-11.25) \pm \sqrt{(-11.25)^2 - 4(1)(-16)}}{2(1)} \]
Calculating the discriminant:
\[ (-11.25)^2 = 126.5625 \]
\[ 4 \times 1 \times -16 = -64 \]
So:
\[ b^2 - 4ac = 126.5625 + 64 = 190.5625 \]
Now substituting back in:
\[ X_1 = \frac{11.25 \pm \sqrt{190.5625}}{2} \]
Calculating the square root:
\[ \sqrt{190.5625} \approx 13.8 \]
Now substituting back:
\[ X_1 = \frac{11.25 \pm 13.8}{2} \]
We have two options for \( X_1 \):
- \( X_1 = \frac{11.25 + 13.8}{2} \approx \frac{25.05}{2} \approx 12.525 \)
- \( X_1 = \frac{11.25 - 13.8}{2} \approx \frac{-2.55}{2} \approx -1.275 \)
Now, we calculate \( X_2 \) for each \( X_1 \):
For \( X_1 \approx 12.525 \): \[ X_2 = 11.25 - 12.525 \approx -1.275 \]
For \( X_1 \approx -1.275 \): \[ X_2 = 11.25 - (-1.275) \approx 12.525 \]
Thus, the pairs \((X_1, X_2)\) are:
- \( X_1 \approx 12.525 \) and \( X_2 \approx -1.275 \)
- \( X_1 \approx -1.275 \) and \( X_2 \approx 12.525 \)
Final answers:
- \( X_1 \approx 12.525, X_2 \approx -1.275 \)
- or
- \( X_1 \approx -1.275, X_2 \approx 12.525 \)
