Solve the system of equations 2xy+y^2=4 and x^2+5y^2+6xy=0.

We have to solve the system of
equations:


2xy + y^2 = 4
...(1)


x^2 + 5y^2 + 6xy = 0
...(2)


x^2 + 5y^2 + 6xy =
0


2xy + y^2 = 4


=> x =
(4 - y^2)/2y


substitute in
(2)


=> [(4 - y^2)/2y]^2 + 5y^2 + 12 - 3y^2 =
0


=> (4 - y^2)^2/4y^2 + 5y^2 + 12 - 3y^2 =
0


=> (4 - y^2)^2/4y^2 + 5y^2 + 12 - 3y^2 =
0


let y^2 = z


=> (4 -
z)^2/4z + 2z + 12 = 0


=> 16 + z^2 - 8z + 8z^2 + 48z
= 0


=> 9z^2 + 40z + 16 =
0


=> 9z^2 + 36z + 4z + 16 =
0


=> 9z(z + 4) + 4(z + 4) =
0


=> (9z + 4)(z + 4) =
0


=> z = -4 and z =
-4/9


y^2 = 2i, -2i and y = 2i/3,
-2i/3


x = (4 - y^2)/2y


for y =
2i


x = 4/2i = -2i


for y =
-2i


x = 4/-2i = 2i


for y =
2i/3


x = (4 + 4/9)/(4i/3) =
-10i/3


for y = -2i/3


x = (4 +
4/9)/(4i/3) = 10i/3


The solution of the
equations are (-2i, 2i), (2i, -2i), (-10i/3, 2i/3) and (10i/3,
-2i/3)

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
