05 - Quadratic Systems of Equations (With Lines, Circles, Ellipses, Parabolas & Hyperbolas) - By Math and Science
Transcript
00:00 | Hello . Welcome back to algebra . The title of | |
00:02 | this section is called quadratic Systems of equations . Now | |
00:05 | it sounds very , very complex but actually it's not | |
00:09 | at all hard to understand what's going on here . | |
00:11 | What we're gonna do in this lesson is given overview | |
00:13 | of what a quadratic system really is . We're gonna | |
00:15 | draw lots of pictures in this lesson . We're not | |
00:17 | gonna have any , hardly any equation , certainly no | |
00:19 | difficult problems to solve . This is a concept lesson | |
00:23 | . We're going to understand the concept here and then | |
00:24 | in the next lesson , I'm gonna show you how | |
00:26 | to solve quadratic systems by the techniques that will learn | |
00:29 | in the next lesson . So the next lesson will | |
00:31 | be a lot more math . This lesson will be | |
00:32 | a lot more pictures which is fun sometimes to make | |
00:35 | sure you understand the concepts . Now if you remember | |
00:37 | back , we already talked about what a system of | |
00:40 | equations is but in the past we called it a | |
00:43 | system of linear equations , linear is the word there | |
00:46 | . In the past that we use linear means line | |
00:48 | . So when you have a system of linear equations | |
00:51 | , it means you have more than one . Usually | |
00:53 | we were talking about two lines and the system is | |
00:56 | basically the solution of that system is where the lines | |
00:59 | cross . If the lines have a crossing point , | |
01:02 | they're only gonna be one crossing point in that intersection | |
01:04 | point common to both lines is what we call the | |
01:06 | solution . So there's one solution if there's one crossing | |
01:09 | point . But you all know that lines can also | |
01:12 | be parallel where they never intersect at all . In | |
01:14 | that case we say that there is no solution of | |
01:17 | that linear system of equations . So we've done all | |
01:20 | that in the past , but now that we have | |
01:22 | under our belt , the comic sections , we have | |
01:24 | circles and parabolas , ellipses and hyperbole . And we | |
01:28 | also have lines that we can graph also . So | |
01:30 | we can have systems of equations that involve these quadratic | |
01:33 | functions . Quadratic just means it has a square term | |
01:36 | and of course , you know all the circles and | |
01:38 | ellipses , they have x squares and y squares everywhere | |
01:41 | . So all of those we call them comic sections | |
01:42 | . There also quadratic in nature because they have squares | |
01:46 | running around the variables . All right , so the | |
01:49 | bottom line is we now have systems of equations called | |
01:51 | quadratic systems where we graph more than one comic section | |
01:55 | , like a circle and the ellipse or a circle | |
01:57 | and a hyperbole or parabola and a circle or something | |
02:02 | like this . And we're looking to solve by finding | |
02:04 | those intersection points from among those uh quadratic equations , | |
02:09 | among those uh ellipses , hyperbole and so on . | |
02:11 | Also we can have lines thrown in there . So | |
02:14 | we can have you know , no intersection points or | |
02:17 | one or two or three up to four intersection points | |
02:20 | . So now we need to start to draw pictures | |
02:22 | because it's actually very easy to understand . So let's | |
02:25 | recall things that we already know . We already know | |
02:27 | that there's a thing called a line out there . | |
02:29 | Right ? What is the general equation of a line | |
02:32 | ? Of course I can give you the the most | |
02:34 | general version , but I'm just talking about give me | |
02:35 | an example of a life . Well , a lion | |
02:37 | might be something like why is equal to three X | |
02:40 | plus two ? How do you know it's a line | |
02:42 | ? Well , because the X . Term does not | |
02:44 | have a square or any other higher power . So | |
02:46 | it has to be aligned . Same with the Y | |
02:48 | . If the X . And the Y . Variable | |
02:49 | don't have any squares or higher powers , then it | |
02:52 | has to be pretty much be a line . All | |
02:54 | right , so this is some line , this is | |
02:56 | the Y intercept , this is the slope . Now | |
02:58 | , I'm not gonna graph this this line that's going | |
03:00 | to take too much time . But in general , | |
03:02 | lines can have uh that can have slants up into | |
03:05 | the right like this . They can have slants down | |
03:07 | uh and down into the right like this . So | |
03:10 | this is a positive slope line . This is a | |
03:11 | negative slope line . Right ? And you can also | |
03:15 | of course have horizontal lines . You can have vertical | |
03:18 | lines , Right ? So that is what we studied | |
03:21 | in the past when we had two of those lines | |
03:23 | graft on the same graph paper , we called it | |
03:25 | a system of linear equations . And we were looking | |
03:28 | for the intersection points , but now we have a | |
03:31 | much richer set of of Connick sections that we know | |
03:37 | how to talk about the 1st 1 . Let's talk | |
03:39 | about a problem . Just reminding you what we've already | |
03:43 | learned , what would be an example equation of a | |
03:45 | parabola . You know , it might be something like | |
03:49 | y is equal to three parentheses , X minus two | |
03:52 | quantity squared . How do you know it's a problem | |
03:55 | ? Well , because the X term is the one | |
03:57 | that squared in the UAE term , isn't that pretty | |
03:59 | much always means it's going to be a parabola . | |
04:01 | The shift in here tells you where the center of | |
04:03 | the vertex is going to be . There is no | |
04:05 | shift and why . And this tells you if it's | |
04:07 | opened up or down now , as you know , | |
04:09 | when you graph these problems because we've done it so | |
04:11 | many times , you might have a problem that goes | |
04:13 | down and up like this , or you might have | |
04:15 | a problem that opens upside down , so a smiley | |
04:18 | face or a frowny face in general . Those are | |
04:20 | the shapes of the problems that we care about . | |
04:23 | Okay . And then of course we all we also | |
04:26 | know that we can have uh parabolas , left and | |
04:29 | right . Also , I'm not having drawn those . | |
04:31 | That's if the Y term is squared , but the | |
04:33 | X term is not squared . We study those in | |
04:35 | the past as well . All right , so for | |
04:37 | the simplest case of a circle , what does that | |
04:41 | look like ? Just give a simple equation of a | |
04:43 | circle , right ? You might have something like X | |
04:46 | squared plus Y plus four , quantity squared is equal | |
04:51 | to four . So it's the X . Turn that | |
04:53 | squared and the Y term that squared . Then it's | |
04:57 | either gonna be a circle or a any lips . | |
05:00 | It's gonna be a circle or any lips . And | |
05:02 | in the form of an ellipse look slightly different . | |
05:04 | So we know that this is a circle . The | |
05:06 | radius is equal to to the square root of the | |
05:08 | right hand side . This is the shift in the | |
05:10 | center and the shift on the X direction has no | |
05:13 | there's no shift at all . But in general , | |
05:15 | what does the circle look like ? Again ? Not | |
05:17 | drawing a real graph of this , but a circle | |
05:20 | looks like a circle . And of course , we | |
05:22 | can move all of these all over the xy plane | |
05:24 | , depending on with the shifting values that we have | |
05:28 | . All right , So let's crank along here after | |
05:30 | a circle we studied in the lips , which , | |
05:34 | as you know , is very similar to a circle | |
05:36 | . It's just a stretched version of that . So | |
05:39 | , an example of an equation of lips might be | |
05:41 | X plus three , quantity squared over four plus y | |
05:47 | minus three , quantity squared over two is equal to | |
05:51 | one . How do you know it's an ellipse What | |
05:53 | you have an X squared term plus Y squared term | |
05:56 | . But you have numbers on the bottom that determine | |
05:58 | how it stretched in the X . And the Y | |
06:00 | . Direction . And the right hand side is equal | |
06:01 | to one . And we've studied many , many ellipses | |
06:03 | and in the shift in the X . Direction , | |
06:06 | in the Y direction is read directly off of the | |
06:08 | graph like this . So what can an ellipse ? | |
06:09 | More or less look like ? Well , we've studied | |
06:12 | the fact that you can have horizontal ellipses right ? | |
06:15 | And you can also have vertically oriented lips . Is | |
06:18 | that all depends on the numbers that are on the | |
06:20 | bottom here . So you see , I'm drawing all | |
06:22 | these because I want to remind you all the different | |
06:24 | shapes we have to play around with because when we | |
06:26 | have our quadratic systems , we're gonna mix them all | |
06:28 | together . Now . The last one we have that | |
06:30 | we've studied is the hyperbole . What does the general | |
06:35 | equation of hyperbole look like ? All right . Well | |
06:39 | , it might look something like X -4 quantity squared | |
06:43 | over two minus y plus three quantity squared over four | |
06:51 | is equal to one . How do we know this | |
06:53 | is a hyperbole and not an ellipse ? Well , | |
06:55 | it's because there's a minus sign here , it still | |
06:57 | has an X squared term in a y squared term | |
06:59 | but it's linked with a minus sign . Whereas the | |
07:00 | ellipse is linked with a plus sign . The numbers | |
07:03 | on the bottom determine the assam tops , which kind | |
07:05 | of helps the sketch the thing but more or less | |
07:07 | . What does this thing look like ? We said | |
07:08 | ? Hyperbole can look kind of like this horizontal versions | |
07:12 | of the hyperbole . Or we could have vertical versions | |
07:16 | of the hyperbole as well . The center of the | |
07:17 | hyperbole is right between the two curves . All right | |
07:20 | . So take a look at what we have on | |
07:21 | the board . We have lines , we have parabolas | |
07:23 | , we have circles , we have ellipses and we | |
07:25 | have hyperbole is right . So those are all the | |
07:28 | context sections . Of course the line is not a | |
07:30 | comic section , but we can still use we still | |
07:33 | have systems of equations that involve lines as well , | |
07:35 | so we just throw it in there . All right | |
07:37 | . So a linear set of equations is just equations | |
07:40 | of lines . We've learned how to solve them . | |
07:43 | We said we can solve them graphically . That's when | |
07:45 | you graph them and look for the intersection point . | |
07:47 | You can use addition and you can use substitution . | |
07:50 | So in this lesson we're not doing any of that | |
07:52 | stuff , we're just sketching some things to show you | |
07:54 | how you can have a different number of solutions . | |
07:56 | A quadratic system can have uh let me go and | |
08:01 | write that down . Actually quadratic system , which means | |
08:07 | a system that involves one of these two of these | |
08:09 | equations that we've written on the board there , it | |
08:12 | can have for solutions , it can have 0123 or | |
08:19 | up to four solutions . Now , when I talk | |
08:21 | about solutions , I'm talking about real solutions , so | |
08:24 | I'm gonna talk about real solutions right in this class | |
08:30 | , we're not going to be focusing on imaginary solutions | |
08:33 | of systems of equations . We're just not going to | |
08:35 | talk about that if they intersect , we say that | |
08:38 | those are the real solutions , the actual intersection points | |
08:40 | . If there's no intersection point , we're not discussing | |
08:43 | any imaginary solutions or anything else because that's beyond the | |
08:45 | scope of this class . So we're just looking at | |
08:47 | the intersection points . So let's go down a trip | |
08:50 | down memory lane here , let's talk about some really | |
08:52 | , really simple cases . First of all , forget | |
08:55 | about the rest of the comic sections . Let's say | |
08:56 | we have two lines that are just lines and they | |
08:59 | cross like this . How many solutions are there to | |
09:02 | this ? Well , there's one solution why ? Because | |
09:06 | there's only one intersection point . The point here is | |
09:08 | common to both lines . So because it shares commonality | |
09:11 | with both , it satisfies both equations . And so | |
09:14 | because of that , it is a solution . Now | |
09:16 | . What if you have a line like this and | |
09:19 | then a line parallel to it like this ? So | |
09:22 | you see these lines never cross . So we say | |
09:24 | that we have zero solutions . It's very , very | |
09:28 | common when you saw the system of equations to not | |
09:30 | have any solution at all . It doesn't mean it's | |
09:32 | magical or mystical or what does that mean ? It | |
09:35 | just means that the graphs don't cross . So there's | |
09:37 | no commonality between the two . So there's no solutions | |
09:40 | that satisfy both of the equations . Now let's crank | |
09:42 | up the complexity a little bit . Actually , none | |
09:44 | of this is hard , but uh , I want | |
09:47 | to make sure you really understand what if you had | |
09:49 | . And we're just gonna give some examples here . | |
09:51 | What if I had a circle ? All right . | |
09:54 | And then a line that goes through the circle like | |
09:58 | this . How many solutions do I have here ? | |
10:00 | So I can have an equation , a system of | |
10:02 | equations that has a equation of a circle might look | |
10:05 | something like this and then right next to it . | |
10:07 | The other equation might be a line that looks like | |
10:09 | this . So if I were to plot them , | |
10:10 | I would say I have two intersection points of there's | |
10:13 | two solutions . What solutions . If I were to | |
10:17 | graph them on a sheet and a graph paper , | |
10:19 | of course I could figure out the intersection points by | |
10:21 | biographical methods and I could , you know , go | |
10:25 | to town . However , I might have um let's | |
10:29 | draw a little dividing line here . I might have | |
10:33 | a circle with a line that never crosses it . | |
10:37 | Like this . This is zero solutions , Right ? | |
10:43 | zero solutions . Because there's no just like there's no | |
10:45 | solutions here . There's no solutions here . Now let | |
10:48 | me ask you this . You might think a line | |
10:49 | in a circle is always going to have to two | |
10:52 | solutions . But what if I have a special case | |
10:53 | where I have a circle like this , right ? | |
10:56 | But then the line , just see if I can | |
10:59 | draw it , just grazes the surface right here . | |
11:03 | Only one location . If I took a microscope and | |
11:05 | zoomed into this thing , I would find that that | |
11:07 | line only touches the edge at one exact location . | |
11:10 | Because I can surely shift this line up and up | |
11:13 | and up and up to . It just touches the | |
11:14 | surface in one place that's called a tangent line , | |
11:18 | a line tangent to the circle . So if you | |
11:20 | only touch it in one location , there's only one | |
11:22 | point of commonality . There's only one solution . So | |
11:26 | you see even in the case of the circle you | |
11:28 | can have a circle in the line , you can | |
11:29 | have zero solutions , You can have one solution if | |
11:32 | it just touches the edge and you can also have | |
11:33 | two solutions . If it goes through the center or | |
11:36 | not even through the center , just some goes through | |
11:38 | both sides of the circle like this . All right | |
11:41 | . Um And then of course you can play around | |
11:43 | with the other possibility to that's just a circle and | |
11:45 | a line . But let's take a look at the | |
11:47 | possibilities for a problem . Let's say I have a | |
11:49 | problem . I joined it like this but it could | |
11:51 | be flipped upside down and I have a line that | |
11:54 | goes through like this . Okay , so there's an | |
11:56 | intersection point here and here . So there's two solutions | |
11:59 | . If I can draw , I cannot draw solution | |
12:02 | two solutions , right ? But of course I could | |
12:04 | have a different Perabo one , maybe that goes upside | |
12:07 | down like this and I can have a line that | |
12:10 | just touches the very tippy top of that parable like | |
12:14 | this only at one location . That could be one | |
12:16 | solution . This tangent line . I could draw it | |
12:20 | down here just touching the problem in one location . | |
12:22 | I can touch it here , touching them in one | |
12:24 | location . This parable is curved all the time . | |
12:26 | So I can always find a line to just touching | |
12:28 | in one location . By the way , this concept | |
12:30 | of a tangent line , it's never gonna go away | |
12:33 | . In fact , almost the whole subject of calculus | |
12:36 | when you get into calculus is all about tangent lines | |
12:39 | , I know you might think well who cares about | |
12:40 | tangent lines . It seems so completely worthless as a | |
12:43 | concept . But just trust me when we get into | |
12:45 | calculus you'll see the and understand the necessity of studying | |
12:49 | this stuff . Lines that are tangent two curves . | |
12:52 | It really does cover about half of calculus one . | |
12:54 | So I kind of got to get used to the | |
12:56 | idea . So that's a parable on the line . | |
13:00 | Um and then of course we can have a parabola | |
13:05 | like this and then we can have a line up | |
13:07 | here . So there's no solution at all . So | |
13:10 | you can see the idea here , I can keep | |
13:11 | drawing things and I do have a few more I | |
13:13 | do want to draw . But the bottom line is | |
13:15 | I said that quadratic systems can have real solutions that | |
13:19 | can have zero solutions . One solution to Solutions three | |
13:22 | solutions or even four solutions . And we've already seen | |
13:24 | on the board we can have zero , we can | |
13:26 | have one , here's 1102 and no solution . So | |
13:30 | we've already drawn quite a bit of possibilities already but | |
13:33 | we have some more possibilities . I like to draw | |
13:36 | for you um just so that you know , I | |
13:38 | do the thinking kind of for you ahead of time | |
13:40 | . Let's draw something a little more complex . Let's | |
13:42 | say we have a circle that we have plotted and | |
13:46 | any lips that just cuts into that circle something like | |
13:48 | this . You see there's two intersection points , one | |
13:50 | right here and one right here solution to solutions right | |
13:54 | ? You can pick up the pace a little bit | |
13:56 | . What if I move that ellipse over to the | |
13:57 | right , just a little bit so that it only | |
14:00 | touches at one location . Now , the way I | |
14:01 | drew , this is not the best , it looks | |
14:03 | like I intersected , but I'm trying to draw it | |
14:05 | touching just in one location . That's a terrible ellipse | |
14:08 | by the way . And this is only one solution | |
14:11 | . So you can see you can have one solution | |
14:12 | even in the case of ellipses and um and circles | |
14:17 | . Okay , what if I have two ellipses ? | |
14:19 | What if I have a horizontal lips that goes around | |
14:22 | like this ? And then I have I can have | |
14:23 | a vertical lips that goes here . Now you can | |
14:25 | see that's how you get to your four solutions , | |
14:28 | Right ? Because I can have circular objects , meaning | |
14:31 | in the lips is a circular kind of shape to | |
14:33 | it even though it's stretched and they can intersect in | |
14:35 | such a way that you can have four um intersection | |
14:38 | points . Now let me ask you a question here | |
14:40 | is kind of a trick question you have to think | |
14:41 | about . So I can see how I can have | |
14:44 | one solution if if the circle and the ellipse touch | |
14:47 | in one location , I can have four solutions if | |
14:49 | they fully cross each other , how can I have | |
14:52 | a circle and ellipse cross in only three locations . | |
14:55 | It actually takes a minute of you thinking about that | |
14:57 | . How can you have a circle ? And the | |
14:58 | lips intersect ? But it only in three places and | |
15:02 | it's kind of weird at first . But the way | |
15:04 | that can happen is something like this , I can | |
15:06 | have for instance a circle like this and I can | |
15:10 | have any lips that looks something like this . It | |
15:12 | only goes and touches this border of the circle in | |
15:14 | one location , but then it comes up and crosses | |
15:17 | and of course that's a terribly lips but you get | |
15:19 | the idea it crosses 12 and this is only touching | |
15:22 | in one location . This is tangent right here . | |
15:25 | So this is three solutions . Okay ? And then | |
15:29 | of course you can have special cases when you have | |
15:31 | two circles that can have two circles just kissing each | |
15:34 | other and where they just touch in one location . | |
15:36 | So this is one solution . Mhm . And I'm | |
15:39 | gonna pick up the pace a little bit since we're | |
15:41 | getting the point of it here , I can have | |
15:43 | hyperbole as I can have what happens when you have | |
15:44 | hyperbole . Some lines and hyperbole is um circles , | |
15:46 | you can have all kinds of things so I can | |
15:48 | have a hyperbole to and I can have a line | |
15:50 | going through it cutting into locations , right ? I | |
15:54 | can have a parabola , right ? Plus a hyperbole | |
15:59 | . A parable . Plus a hyperbole . I can | |
16:00 | have the hyperbole . Let me draw the hyperbole in | |
16:02 | another colour . I can have the hyperbole come in | |
16:04 | like this and the hyperbole come in like this , | |
16:07 | you see it crosses and that's not symmetric , it's | |
16:09 | not drawn properly , but you can see that you | |
16:11 | can have four crossing points . Four solutions ? Yes | |
16:15 | . Right , so I can have two solutions for | |
16:17 | a line in hyperbole . I can have four solutions | |
16:19 | for something like this . And actually I can have | |
16:22 | a parable and hyperbole that actually only has three solutions | |
16:26 | as well . So I can actually draw the hyperbole | |
16:28 | instead of drawing up just horizontally like this . I | |
16:31 | can draw the hyperbole to like this if I want | |
16:33 | to . There's nothing saying I can if you kind | |
16:36 | of tilt your head sideways , you can see the | |
16:38 | hyperbole comes in like this , It's just I've drawn | |
16:40 | it uh in a different kind of direction , right | |
16:43 | ? And I can have a um a parabola come | |
16:49 | in and then down like this . So this is | |
16:51 | a parabola . Plus the hyperbole have +123 crossing points | |
16:55 | , three solutions . Okay . And then there's only | |
16:59 | one more I'm going to do for you . And | |
17:01 | that is I can have any lips that could look | |
17:05 | something like this and then I can have a hyperbole | |
17:09 | to that comes in like this . And then the | |
17:12 | hyperbole doesn't even the other side of the hyperbole doesn't | |
17:15 | even touch this guy . So there's two solutions here | |
17:18 | . Yeah . All right . I could have simplified | |
17:20 | this entire lesson if I wanted to . I could | |
17:22 | have just said , hey guys , there's these things | |
17:24 | called comic sections . Plus , you know , we | |
17:25 | have our lines , we can have what we call | |
17:27 | a quadratic system . We have at least two of | |
17:29 | these things plotted on one sheet of graph paper and | |
17:32 | you can have 0123 or four crossing points . And | |
17:36 | I could have just left it at that and I | |
17:38 | would have been fine . But I really like sketching | |
17:40 | a few because what's going to happen in the next | |
17:42 | lesson is we're going to start solving these systems mathematically | |
17:44 | solving them . Sometimes you're gonna get no solution . | |
17:47 | Sometimes you're gonna get one solution . Sometimes you're gonna | |
17:49 | get three , sometimes you're gonna get four . And | |
17:51 | if you don't have this in your mind and you | |
17:53 | don't even know why you're getting different answers sometimes right | |
17:56 | ? But now you can see why because it's just | |
17:58 | a physical nous of how the things are outlined . | |
18:01 | If you or how the things are graft . If | |
18:02 | you were to take the problems in the next few | |
18:04 | lessons and graph them all you would immediately see the | |
18:06 | crossing points . But we're not gonna be graphing them | |
18:08 | in the next lesson . You know when we learn | |
18:11 | system of equations the first time the first thing we | |
18:13 | did is graphed them to find the solutions . But | |
18:15 | you see how hard that would be for quadratic systems | |
18:17 | because you know , we've sketched hyperbole is and parabolas | |
18:21 | , you can sketch them of course and you can | |
18:23 | see roughly how many there are . But if you | |
18:24 | wanted to get the exact values here is really hard | |
18:27 | to do on graph paper . I mean you have | |
18:29 | to really plot a lot of points and get exact | |
18:31 | because the curving nature of it with lines , it's | |
18:33 | very simple . Everything is very easy to kind of | |
18:36 | line up so we can do it graphically . But | |
18:38 | for quadratic systems , graphical just doesn't get you anywhere | |
18:41 | . So in the next lesson , what we're gonna | |
18:42 | do is we're going to learn how to solve these | |
18:46 | things by substitution , which we've also done for the | |
18:48 | linear equations and we're also going to learn how to | |
18:50 | solve them by addition . Which we've done in the | |
18:54 | in the linear system as well . So we're gonna | |
18:56 | be using those techniques and we're gonna be applying them | |
18:59 | the quadratic systems . Sometimes you're gonna get zero , | |
19:01 | sometimes you're gonna get one solution , sometimes you're gonna | |
19:03 | get to solutions sometimes three sometimes four solutions in the | |
19:07 | back of your mind when those solutions pop out of | |
19:09 | your math , I want you to remember why they | |
19:11 | pop out that way because of the physical nature of | |
19:14 | whatever it is you're trying to solve . We're looking | |
19:16 | for the intersection points and those are going to yield | |
19:19 | the real solutions to the system . So follow me | |
19:21 | on to the next lesson and we're gonna start conquering | |
19:24 | how to solve the quadratic systems mathematically . |
