Answer

n=−27,m=−143n = -27, m = -143

n=2,m=2n = 2, m = 2

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Substitute the given solution (x,y)=(1,5)(x, y) = (1, 5) into the equations.

    The given equations are:

    1. n2x+my=14n^2x + my = 14
    2. ny−mx=8ny - mx = 8

    Substitute x=1x=1 and y=5y=5 into both equations:
    For equation 1:

    n2(1)+m(5)=14n^2(1) + m(5) = 14 n2+5m=14(∗)n^2 + 5m = 14 \quad (*)

    For equation 2:

    n(5)−m(1)=8n(5) - m(1) = 8 5n−m=8(∗∗)5n - m = 8 \quad (**)
  2. Solve the system of equations for nn and mm.

    From equation (∗∗)(**), express mm in terms of nn:

    m=5n−8m = 5n - 8
  3. Substitute the expression for mm into equation (∗)(*).

    Substitute m=5n−8m = 5n - 8 into n2+5m=14n^2 + 5m = 14:

    n2+5(5n−8)=14n^2 + 5(5n - 8) = 14 n2+25n−40=14n^2 + 25n - 40 = 14 n2+25n−40−14=0n^2 + 25n - 40 - 14 = 0 n2+25n−54=0n^2 + 25n - 54 = 0
  4. Solve the quadratic equation for nn.

    Factor the quadratic equation n2+25n−54=0n^2 + 25n - 54 = 0. We need two numbers that multiply to -54 and add to 25. These numbers are 27 and -2.

    (n+27)(n−2)=0(n + 27)(n - 2) = 0

    This gives two possible values for nn:

    n+27=0  ⟹  n=−27n + 27 = 0 \implies n = -27 n−2=0  ⟹  n=2n - 2 = 0 \implies n = 2
  5. Find the corresponding values of mm for each value of nn.

    Using the relation m=5n−8m = 5n - 8:

    Case 1: For n=−27n = -27

    m=5(−27)−8m = 5(-27) - 8 m=−135−8m = -135 - 8 m=−143m = -143

    Case 2: For n=2n = 2

    m=5(2)−8m = 5(2) - 8 m=10−8m = 10 - 8 m=2m = 2

    The values for nn and mm are:
    n=−27,m=−143\boxed{n = -27, m = -143} or n=2,m=2\boxed{n = 2, m = 2}
