Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Nonlinear Equations
Nonlinear equations are equations in which the variables are raised to a power greater than one or multiplied together, resulting in a graph that is not a straight line. In this context, the given equations are quadratic in nature, meaning they involve squared terms. Understanding how to manipulate and solve these types of equations is crucial for finding their intersections, which represent the solutions to the system.

Nonlinear Inequalities
Systems of Equations
A system of equations consists of two or more equations that share common variables. The goal is to find values for these variables that satisfy all equations simultaneously. In this case, the system is nonlinear, requiring specific methods such as substitution or elimination to find solutions, including real and complex numbers.

Complex Numbers
Complex numbers are numbers that have a real part and an imaginary part, expressed in the form a + bi, where 'i' is the imaginary unit. When solving nonlinear systems, solutions may include complex numbers, especially when the discriminant of a quadratic equation is negative. Recognizing and interpreting these solutions is essential for a complete understanding of the system's behavior.
