Systems of Conics

This document discusses solving systems of equations involving quadratic equations and conic sections. It provides examples of solving systems algebraically that involve a line and circle, two circles, ellipse, or hyperbola. The process involves graphing the systems, finding their intersection points, and then verifying the solutions algebraically by substitution. Multiple examples are worked through step-by-step to demonstrate solving various types of systems involving quadratic equations and conic sections.
