Solution
To solve the system of equations, we need to set the two equations equal to each other because they both equal y.
So, we have e^(3x) = 1/e.
To solve for x, we can take the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides.
ln(e^(3x)) = ln(1/e)
Using the property of logarithms that allows us to bring down exponents, we get:
3x = ln(1/e)
To isolate x, we divide both sides by 3:
x = ln(1/e) / 3
The natural logarithm of 1/e is -1 (since e to the power of -1 equals 1/e), so:
x = -1/3
Substitute x = -1/3 into the first equation y = e^(3x) to solve for y:
y = e^(3*(-1/3)) = e^(-1) = 1/e
So, the solution to the system of equations is x = -1/3, y = 1/e, which corresponds to option c.(-1/3, e^-1)
