Question
Solve the system of equations
(a1,s1)=(0,0)(a2,s2)=(1,1000)
Evaluate
{sa=1000a21000a2=s
Rewrite the expression
{sa=1000a2s=1000a2
Substitute the given value of s into the equation sa=1000a2
1000a2×a=1000a2
Multiply the terms

Evaluate
a2×a
Use the product rule an×am=an+m to simplify the expression
a2+1
Add the numbers
a3
1000a3
1000a3=1000a2
Add or subtract both sides
1000a3−1000a2=0
Factor the expression
1000a2(a−1)=0
Divide both sides
a2(a−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
a2=0∪a−1=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
a=0∪a−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
a−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
a=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
a=1
a=0∪a=1
Rearrange the terms
{a=0s=1000a2∪{a=1s=1000a2
