Answer

$(3, -1/2)$ $(-3, -1/2)$

Work Step by Step

Given the system of equations: 1. $2x^2 - 8y^3 = 19$ 2. $4x^2 + 16y^3 = 34$ It asks to find all solutions. Double equation one, add the result to equation 2 $4x^2 - 16y^3 = 38$ + ($4x^2 + 16y^3 = 34$) $8x^2 = 72$ $x^2 = 9$ $x = 3, -3$ Substitute the values into the equation $4(3)^2 + 16y^3 = 34$ $36 + 16y^3 = 34$ $y^3 = -1/8$ $y = -1/2$ $4(-3)^2 += 16y^3 = 34$ $36 + 16y^3 = 34$ $y^3 = -1/8$ $y = -1/2$ All solutions: $(3, -1/2)$ $(-3, -1/2)$
