The volume of a box
depends on its
dimensions. Is it
possible to determine
the dimensions of the
box if only the
dimensions of the
cardboard used to
produce it are known?

We can do that
through the use of
systems of nonlinear
equations.

3
 Systems of nonlinear equations allow us to
find solutions for situations that have
conditions.

The manufacture and design of different things

like buildings and tools require solving nonlinear

 Solving Systems of Nonlinear Equations

A system of nonlinear equations can have no solution, one

solution, or many solutions.

In dealing with systems containing linear and quadratic

equations, we can solve for their solutions using a method
called substitution.
