Answer

$(\sqrt \frac{9}{2}, 1), (- \sqrt \frac{9}{2}, 1), ( \sqrt \frac{25}{2}, 3) and (- \sqrt \frac{25}{2}, 3) $

Work Step by Step

$2x^2 + 4y = 13$ (1) $x^2 - y^2 = 7/2$ (2) (1) - 2 (2) $4y + 2y^2 = 6$ $2y^2 + 4y - 6 = 0$ $(2y - 2) (y + 3) = 0$ y = 1, -3 Substitute y= 1 $2x^2 + 4(1) = 13$ $x^2 = 9/2$ $x = +/- \sqrt \frac{9}{2}$ Substitute y= -3 $2x^2 + 4(-3) = 13$ $x^2 = 25/2$ $x = +/- \sqrt \frac{25}{2}$ Thus the answers are $(\sqrt \frac{9}{2}, 1), (- \sqrt \frac{9}{2}, 1), ( \sqrt \frac{25}{2}, 3) and (- \sqrt \frac{25}{2}, 3) $
