  1. since x=2y, substitute it.

    y = x^2 - 4x + 4

    y=(2y)^2-4(2y)+4

    y=2y^2-8y+4

    2y^2-8y-y+4=0

    2y^2-9y+4

    (2y-1)(y-4)

    y=1/2 and 4

    to get x

    substute the values of y

    when y is 1/2, x=1

    when y is 4, x=8

    hope this helps


  2. y=x/2

    so plug x/2 in y.

    x/2=x^2-4x+4

    x^2-7x/2+4=0

    Then use quadratic formula to solve for x.

    x=7/4 plus or minus the square root of 17. that is the value of x.

    after you find the value x. plug to x. to find y

  3. x = 2y

    y = x^2 - 4x + 4

    y = (2y)^2 - 4 ( 2y) +4

    x = 2y

    y = 4y^2 -8y+4

    4y^2 - 8y+4 -y = 0

    4y^2 -9y+4 = 0.

    delta = (-9)^ 2 - 4*4*4 = 81 - 64= 17.

    y1 = [9- sqrt(17) ] / 8

    y2 = [9+sqrt(17) ] /8.

    x1 = [9- sqrt(17) ] / 4

    x2 = [9+ sqrt(17) ] / 4.

  4. y=x/2 ... (1)

    x/2=x^2-4x+4

    x=2x^2-8x+8

    2x^2-9x+8=0

    Use the quadratic formula to solve for 2 values of x then substitute back into (1) to get the y.

  5. y = 4y² - 8y + 4

    4y² - 9y + 4 = 0

    y = [ 9 ± √ (81 - 64 ) ] / 8

    y = [ 9 ± √ (17) ] / 8

    x = 2 [ 9 ± √ (17) ] / 8

    x =  [ 9 ± √ (17) ] / 4
