Problem
How many ordered pairs of real numbers satisfy the following system of equations?
Solution (Graphing)
The second equation is . We know that the graph of is a very simple diamond shape, so let's see if we can reduce this equation to that form.
$(|x|+|y| - 4)^2 = 1 \implies |x|+|y| - 4 = \pm 1 \implies |x|+|y| = \{3,5}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg).
We now have two separate graphs for this equation and one graph for the first equation, so let's put it on the coordinate plane:
$[asy]
Label f; f.p=fontsize(6); xaxis(-8,8,Ticks(f, 2.0,0.5)); yaxis(-8,8,Ticks(f, 2.0,0.5))
real f(real x) { return |x| + |y| = 3; } draw(graph(f,-2,2));
real f(real x) { return |x| + |y| = 5; } draw(graph(f,-2,2));
real f(real x) { return x^2+3y = 9; } draw(graph(f,-2,2));
[/asy]$ (Error making remote request. Unknown error_msg)
