Answer

$(0,-3), (0,3)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the curves: $\begin{cases} 9x^2+y^2=9\\ y^2-9^2=9 \end{cases}$ The equation $9x^2+y^2=9$ represents an ellipse centered in origin. The equation $y^2-9y^2=9$ represents a hyperbola centered in origin. We graph both curves. From the graph we find the intersection points: $(0,-3)$ and $(0,3)$ We check if both points check the equations: $(0,-3)$ $9x^2+y^2=9$ $9(0^2)+(-3)^2\stackrel{?}{=}9$ $9=9\checkmark$ $y^2-9x^2=9$ $(-3)^2+9(0^2)\stackrel{?}{=}9$ $9=9\checkmark$ $(0,3)$ $9x^2+y^2=9$ $9(0^2)+3^2\stackrel{?}{=}9$ $9=9\checkmark$ $y^2-9x^2=9$ $3^2+9(0^2)\stackrel{?}{=}9$ $9=9\checkmark$ So the system's solutions are: $(0,-3), (0,3)$
