Question
In Problems 57-64, use a graphing utility to solve each system of equations. Express the solution(s) rounded to two decimal places. $\left\{\begin{aligned} x^4+y^4 & =6 \\ x y & =1\end{aligned}\right.$
Step 1
We can solve for $y$ in terms of $x$: \[y = \frac{1}{x}\] Now we can substitute this expression for $y$ into the first equation: \[x^4 + \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^4 = 6\] \[x^4 + \frac{1}{x^4} = 6\] Multiplying through by $x^4$ to clear the fraction gives us a Show more…
