Re: Find all real sol. to the following system of eq.

hi engrymbiff


step 1.  Square the first equation.

step 2.  Use the second equation to eliminate x squared plus y squared and then cancel z squared.

step 3.  Rearrange the third equation to make xy the subject.  Use this in the equation from step 2 and you are left with just 'z's.

step 4.  Rearrange to make a quadratic in z.  It factorises to give two values of z.

step 5. Now use this value to get x and y.  As the equations are 'symmetrical' in x and y, you can have these values either way round.
