Nonlinear System

A system of equations where at least one equation is non-linear, meaning it doesn't form a straight line when graphed. Examples include quadratic equations and circles.

Solving by Graphing

A method to solve a system of equations by plotting the graphs of each equation and finding the points of intersection. These points represent the solutions to the system.

Solving by Substitution

A method to solve a system of equations by substituting the expression for one variable from one equation into the other equation. This allows you to solve for one variable, then substitute it back to find the other.

Solving by Elimination

A method to solve a system of equations by adding or subtracting the equations together to eliminate one variable. This allows you to solve for one variable, then substitute it back to find the other.
