Consider the following nonlinear system of equations. -3^{a} + 3(5^{b}) = 1 5(3^{a}) - 9(5^{b}) = 1 Use the substitutions to r = 3^{a} and s = 5^{b} to convert the given system into a linear system and solve the linear system. [r, s] = [ ] Use the linear system found with the substitutions to solve the original nonlinear system of equations. [a, b] = [ ]

Consider the following three systems of linear equations. System A -8x+5y=-6[A1] -9x+4y=3[A2] System B -32x+20y=-24[B1] -9x+4y=3[B2] System C 13x=-39[C1] -9x+4y=3[C2] Answer the questions below. For each, choose the transformation and then fill in the blank with the correct number. The arrow → means the expression on the left becomes the expression on the right. a) How do we transform system A into system B? b) How do we transform system B into system C?

Each of the following is a system of nonlinear equations. However, each is reducible to linear, since an appropriate substitution (say, u for 1/x and v for 1/y) yields a linear system. Make such a substitution, solve for the new variables, and then solve for the original variables. $$ \begin{aligned} &\frac{1}{x}-\frac{3}{y}=2\\ &\frac{6}{x}+\frac{5}{y}=-34 \end{aligned} $$
