We have to solve the system x + y = 3 and x^2/y + y^2/x =
9/2
x + y = 3
=> x = 3
- y
Substitute this in x^2/y + y^2/x =
9/2
=> (3 - y)^2 / y + y^2 / (3 - y) =
9/2
=> (3 - y)(3 - y)^2 + y* y^2 / (3 - y) =
(9/2)*y*(3 - y)
=> (3 - y)^3 + y^3 = (9/2)(3y -
y^2)
=> 2(3^3 - 3*9*y + 3*3*y^2 - y^3 +
y^3) = 27y - 9y^2
=> 54 - 81y + 27y^2 =
0
=> y^2 - 3y + 2 =
0
=>y^2 - 2y - y + 2 =
0
=>y( y - 2) - 1( y - 2) =
0
=> (y - 1)(y - 2) =
0
=> y = 1 and y
=2
=> x = 3 - y = 2 and
1.
The values of x and y are (2, 1) and (1,
2)
