Solve the system of equations algebraically x^2+2y^2=10 3x^2-y^2=9

We'll multiply the second equation by
2:


6x^2 - 2y^2 = 18 (3)


We'll
add the 3rd equation to the first one:


x^2 + 2y^2 + 6x^2 -
2y^2 = 10 + 18


We'll combine like
terms:


7x^2 = 28


x^2 =
4


x1 = 2 and x2 = -2


Now,
we'll substitute x = 2 in the 1st equation:


2^2 + 2y^2 =
10


4 + 2y^2 = 10


2y^2 =
6


y^2 = 3


y1 = sqrt3 and y2 =
-sqrt3


We'll substitute x = -2 in the 1st
equation:


4 + 2y^2 = 10


2y^2 =
6


y^2 = 3


y3 = sqrt3 and y4 =
-sqrt3


The solutions of the equation are the
ordered pairs: (2 ; sqrt3) ; (2 ; -sqrt3) ; (-2 ; sqrt3) ; (-2 ;
-sqrt3).

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
