Answer

${(-\sqrt 3, -\sqrt 5), (-\sqrt 3, \sqrt 5), (\sqrt 3, -\sqrt 5), (\sqrt 3, \sqrt 5)}$

Work Step by Step

$4x^2-2y^2=2$ $-x^2+y^2=2$ $-x^2+y^2=2$ $2*(-x^2+y^2=2)$ $-2x^2+2y^2=4$ $4x^2-2y^2=2$ $-2x^2+2y^2=4$ $4x^2-2y^2+(-2x^2+2y^2)=2+4$ $4x^2-2y^2-2x^2+2y^2=6$ $2x^2=6$ $2x^2/2=6/2$ $x^2=3$ $\sqrt {x^2} =\sqrt 3$ $x= ±\sqrt 3$ $4x^2-2y^2=2$ $4*3-2y^2=2$ $12-2y^2=2$ $12-2y^2+2y^2-2=2+2y^2-2$ $10=2y^2$ $10/2=2y^2/2$ $5=y^2$ $\sqrt 5 = \sqrt {y^2}$ $y = ±\sqrt 5$
