1 8-10 Nonlinear Sstems CC.9-1.A.REI.7 Solve a simple sstem consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraicall and graphicall. Objective Solve sstems of equations in two variables in which one equation is linear and the other is quadratic. Vocabular nonlinear sstem of equations Wh learn this? You can solve a nonlinear sstem to find how long it takes for two objects to reach the same height. (See Eample.) Recall that a sstem of linear equations is a set of two or more linear equations. A solution of a sstem is an ordered pair that satisfies each equation in the sstem. Points where the graphs of the equations intersect represent solutions of the sstem. A nonlinear sstem of equations is a sstem in which at least one of the equations is nonlinear. For eample, a sstem that contains one quadratic equation and one linear equation is a nonlinear sstem. A sstem made up of a linear equation and a quadratic equation can have no solution, one solution, or two solutions, as shown below. No solution One solution Two solutions EXAMPLE 1 Solving a Nonlinear Sstem b Graphing A quadratic function has the form = a + b + c. To graph a quadratic function, start b using = - b a to find the ais of smmetr and the verte. Solve the sstem b graphing. Check our answer. = = Step 1 Graph = The ais of smmetr is = 1. The verte is (1, -). The -intercept is -3. Another point is (-1, 0). Graph the points and reflect them across the ais of smmetr. Step Graph = The slope is -1. The -intercept is -1. (-1, 0) Step 3 Find the points where the two graphs intersect. The solutions appear to be (-1, 0) and (, -3). = = (, -3) 590 Chapter 8 Quadratic Functions and Equations

Check our answer. = = + 1 EXAMPLE Solving a Nonlinear Sstem b Substitution The substitution method is a good choice when either equation is solved for a variable, both equations are solved for the same variable, or a variable in either equation has a coefficient of 1 or -1. Solve the sstem b substitution. = = + = Both equations are solved for. = + = = ( + ) -( + ) = + = 1 + = 3 0 = = ( - + 1) 0 = ( - 1)( - 1) The solution is (1, 3). 0; - 1 = 0 Check Use a graphing calculator. = 1 The graph supports the result found above. This sstem has eactl one real solution. The graph of the sstem consists of a line and a parabola that meet in eactl one point. Substitute + for in the first equation. Subtract + from both sides. Factor out the GCF,. Factor the trinomial. Use the Zero Product Propert; cannot equal 0. Solve the remaining equation. Write one of the original equations. Substitute 1 for..

3 EXAMPLE 3 Solving a Nonlinear Sstem b Elimination The elimination method is a good choice when both equations have the same variable term with the same or opposite coefficients or when a variable term in one equation is a multiple of the corresponding variable term in the other equation. Solve each sstem b elimination. A B - = = = + = + 1 = = = ( - 1)( - 3) - 1 = 0 or - 3 = 0 = 1 or = 3 = + 1 = + 1 = = = = 10 The solutions are (1, ) and (3, 10). = = 6-3 = 6 = () = 3( + - 1) - 3 = = 6 3 = = = = -1 ± (1) - (3)(3) (3) -1 ± = ± = There are no real solutions. Check Use a graphing calculator. To graph - 3 = 6, first solve for. - 3 = 6-3 = = _ 3 - The graph supports that there are no real solutions. Write the sstem to align the -terms. Add the equations to eliminate. Subtract from both sides. Factor the trinomial. Use the Zero Product Propert. Solve the equations. Write one of the original equations. Substitute each -value and solve for. Write the sstem to align the -terms. Multipl each term in the first equation b 3. Add the second equation to the new first equation to eliminate. Subtract from both sides. Use the Quadratic Formula, = -b ± b - ac. a Note the discriminant: b - ac = -35.

An elevator is rising at a constant rate of 0 feet per second. Its height in feet after t seconds is given b h = 0t. At the instant the elevator is at ground level, a ball is thrown upward with an initial velocit of 80 feet per second from ground level. The height in feet of the ball after t seconds is given b h = -16t + 80t. Find the time it takes for the ball and the elevator to reach the same height. h = -16t Solve the sstem + 80t b substitution. h = 0t -16t + 80t = 0t - 0t -0t -16t + 60t = 0 -t(t - 15) = 0 -t = 0 or t - 15 = 0 t = 0 t = 15 Solve the remaining equations. t = 3.75 Substitute -16t + 80t for h in the second equation. Subtract 0t from both sides. Factor out the GCF, -t. Use the Zero Product Propert. It takes 3.75 seconds for the ball and the elevator to reach the same height.. An elevator is rising at a constant rate of 8 feet per second. Its height in feet after t seconds is given b h = 8t.

The eplanation is written using complete sentences and is presented in an order that is eas to follow and to understand. It is obvious that this student knows how to determine and interpret a quadratic function. Student B Poor eplanation The response includes the correct answers, but the eplanation does not include details. The reason for defining the function as quadratic does not show knowledge of the concept. The student shows a lack of understanding of how to write and interpret a quadratic function in standard form. 610 Chapter 8 Quadratic Functions and Equations

22 Include as man details as possible to support our reasoning. This increases the chance of getting full credit for our response. Read each test item and answer the questions that follow. Item A The height in feet of a tennis ball seconds after it is ejected from a serving machine is given b the ordered pairs { (0, 10), (0.5, 9), (1, 7), (1.5, ), (, 0) }. Determine whether the function is quadratic. Find its domain and range. Eplain our answers. 1. What should a student include in the eplanation to receive full credit?. Read the two eplanations below. Which eplanation is better? Wh? Item C A science teacher set off a bottle rocket as part of a lab eperiment. The function h = -16 t + 96t represents the height in feet of a rocket that is shot out of a bottle with an initial vertical velocit of 96 feet per second. Find the time that the rocket is in the air. Eplain how ou found our answer.. Read the two responses below. a. Which student provided the better eplanation? Wh? b. What advice would ou give the other student to improve his or her eplanation? Student C Student A Student B Student D Item B The height of a golf ball can be approimated b the function = , where is the height in meters above the ground and is the time in seconds after the ball is hit. What is the maimum height of the ball? How long does it take for the ball to reach its maimum height? Eplain. 3. A student correctl found the following answers. Use this information to write a clear and concise eplanation. Item D The base of a parallelogram is 1 centimeters more than its height. The area of the parallelogram is 13 square centimeters. Eplain how to determine the height and base of the figure. What is the height? What is the base? 5. Read the following response. Identif an areas that need improvement. Rewrite the response so that it will receive full credit. Test Tackler 611
