Title: Solving Quadratics by Substitution


1
Solving Quadratics by Substitution
y2 x 6 0 x y 0
Solve for x or y Plug in the expression for y.
y -x (-x)2 x 6 0 x2 x 6 0 (x
2)(x 3) 0 x -2 x 3
Simplify and combine like terms
Solve the Quadratic by factoring.(If you cant
factor use quadratic formula or completing the
square)
y - (-2) y -(3) y 2
y -3
Plug your answers back into one of the original
problems.
(-2,2) (3,-3)
Solutions are point of intersection.
2
Solving Quadratics by Substitution
y x2 2x 3 y -x2 2x 3
Solve for x or y Since they are both already y
you can set them to each other.
x2 2x 3 -x2 2x 3 2x2 4x 6 0 x2
2x - 3 0 (x 1)(x 3) 0 x 1 x -3
Simplify and combine like terms
Solve the Quadratic by factoring.(In this problem
you can divivide by 2 first)
Plug your answers back into one of the original
problems.
y 12 2(1) 3 y (-3)2 2(-3) 3 y
1 2 - 3 y 9 6 3 y 0
y 0
Solutions are point of intersection.
(1,0) (-3,0)

Simplify and combine like terms
Solve the Quadratic by factoring.(If you cant
factor use quadratic formula or completing the
square)
Plug your answers back into one of the original
problems.
