Nonlinear Systems

This document discusses solving nonlinear systems of equations, which are systems that contain at least one nonlinear equation, such as a system with one quadratic and one linear equation. It provides examples of solving nonlinear systems by graphing, substitution, and elimination. It also includes an example word problem application involving modeling high school enrollment over time using a nonlinear system. Nonlinear systems can have no solutions, one solution, or two solutions depending on where the graphs of the equations intersect. The document emphasizes important strategies like setting up systems to align like terms before using elimination.

8-10 Nonlinear Systems


Recall that a system of linear equations is a set
of two or more linear equations. A solution of a
system is an ordered pair that satisfies each
equation in the system. Points where the graphs
of the equations intersect represent solutions of
the system.
A nonlinear system of equations is a system
in which at least one of the equations is
nonlinear. For example, a system that contains
one quadratic equation and one linear equation
is a nonlinear system.

A system made up of a linear equation and a
quadratic equation can have no solution, one
solution, or two solutions, as shown below.

Remember!
A quadratic function has the form y = ax2 + bx + c. To
graph a quadratic function, start by using x =
to find the axis of symmetry and the vertex.

equation is solved for a variable, both equations are
solved for the same variable, or a variable in either
equation has a coefficient of 1 or -1.

equations have the same variable term with the same or
opposite coefficients or when a variable term in one
equation is a multiple of the corresponding variable term
in the other equation.

The increasing enrollment at South Ridge High School can
be modeled by the equation E(t) = -t2 + 25t + 600, where t
represents the number of years after 2010. The increasing
