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.
}.
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:
Label f; f.p=fontsize(6); xaxis(-8,8,Ticks(f, 1.0,0.5)); yaxis(-8,8,Ticks(f, 1.0,0.5)); real f(real x) { return |x|+|y| = 3; } draw(graph(f,-2,2)); real f(real x) (Error making remote request. Unknown error_msg)
