This resource provides a comprehensive guide on solving polynomial-nonlinear systems using both substitution and elimination methods. It outlines the key concepts and steps necessary to find the points of intersection between different types of equations, such as quadratic and linear functions. The document includes worked examples that illustrate the substitution method, guiding the user through solving specific equations by setting them equal to each other, rearranging into standard form, and finding solutions for both x and y values. Additionally, the resource highlights common errors to avoid and offers detailed guidance on using the elimination method, including examples of rational functions. Practice problems are also provided for self-assessment and reinforcement of the material covered.
