Explanation The system of equation is, { 2 a + b = 1 b = 4 − a 2 Substitute 4 − a 2 for b in 2 a + b = 1 and obtain the value of a. 2 a + b = 1 2 a + ( 4 − a 2 ) = 1 2 a + 4 − a 2 = 1 a 2 − 2 a − 3 = 0 On further simplifications, a 2 − 2 a − 3 = 0 ( a − 3 ) ( a + 1 ) = 0 a − 3 = 0 or a + 1 = 0 a = 3 or a = − 1 Substitute these values of a in b = 4 − a 2 . If a = 3 then the value of b is, b = 4 − a 2 b = 4 − 3 2 b = 4 − 9 b = − 5 If a = − 1 then the value of b is, b = 4 − a 2 b = 4 − ( − 1 ) 2 b = 4 − 1 b = 3 Then, the pairs are ( 3 , − 5 ) and ( − 1 , 3 ) . Check the correctness of the values as follows. Substitute ( 3 , − 5 ) in 2 a + b = 1 . 2 a + b = 1 2 ( 3 ) + ( − 5 ) = ? 1 6 − 5 = ? 1 1 = 1 True Substitute ( 3 , − 5 ) in b = 4 − a 2

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
