Answer

$(\sqrt 6, 2) (-\sqrt 6, 2)$

Work Step by Step

Given the system of equations: 1. $x^2 + y^2 = 10$ 2. $x^2 + 2y^2 - 7y = 0$ It asks to find all solutions. Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 $x^2 + 2y^2 - 7y = 0$ - ($x^2 + y^2 = 10$) $y^2 - 7y = -10$ $y^2 - 7y + 10 = 0$ $(y - 2) (y- 5) = 0$ $y = 2, 5$ Substitute the values into the equation $x^2 + 2^2 = 10$ $x^2 = 6$ $x = +/- \sqrt 6$ $x^2 + 5^2 = 10$ $x^2 = -15$ No solution Thus the solutions are $(\sqrt 6, 2) (-\sqrt 6, 2)$
