1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the system of equations:
x2+y2=3x^2 + y^2 = 3
x215=yx^2 - 15 = y

2. Solution Steps

We have the system of equations:
x2+y2=3x^2 + y^2 = 3 (1)
x215=yx^2 - 15 = y (2)
From equation (2), we have x2=y+15x^2 = y + 15. Substituting this into equation (1), we get:
(y+15)+y2=3(y + 15) + y^2 = 3
y2+y+153=0y^2 + y + 15 - 3 = 0
y2+y+12=0y^2 + y + 12 = 0
We solve this quadratic equation for yy. The discriminant is:
Δ=b24ac=(1)24(1)(12)=148=47\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (1)^2 - 4(1)(12) = 1 - 48 = -47
Since the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions for yy. Therefore, there are no real solutions for xx.
However, let us proceed to find complex solutions.
Using the quadratic formula,
y=b±b24ac2a=1±472=1±i472y = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{-47}}{2} = \frac{-1 \pm i\sqrt{47}}{2}
We have two possible values for yy:
y1=1+i472y_1 = \frac{-1 + i\sqrt{47}}{2} and y2=1i472y_2 = \frac{-1 - i\sqrt{47}}{2}
Now we find x2x^2 for each value of yy:
x2=y+15x^2 = y + 15
For y1y_1, x2=1+i472+15=1+30+i472=29+i472x^2 = \frac{-1 + i\sqrt{47}}{2} + 15 = \frac{-1 + 30 + i\sqrt{47}}{2} = \frac{29 + i\sqrt{47}}{2}
For y2y_2, x2=1i472+15=1+30i472=29i472x^2 = \frac{-1 - i\sqrt{47}}{2} + 15 = \frac{-1 + 30 - i\sqrt{47}}{2} = \frac{29 - i\sqrt{47}}{2}
Now, we would have to take the square root of these complex numbers to find the values of xx, which is not trivial and might not be the intent of the problem. Since the problem does not specify that we need complex roots, it can be assumed that there are no real solutions.

3. Final Answer

No real solutions.
