10.4 Nonlinear Systems of Equations and Inequalities
Solve a nonlinear system of equations.
Use nonlinear systems of equations to solve applied problems.
Graph nonlinear systems of inequalities.
The systems of equations that we have studied so far have been composed of linear equations. Now we consider systems of two equations in two variables in which at least one equation is not linear.
Nonlinear Systems of Equations
The graphs of the equations in a nonlinear system of equations can have no point of intersection or one or more points of intersection. The coordinates of each point of intersection represent a solution of the system of equations. When no point of intersection exists, the system of equations has no real-number solution.
