Which represents the solution(s) of the graphed system of equations, y = x2 – 2x and y = –2x – 1? (1, –1) (0, 0) and (0, –1) (0,
olganol [36]

ANSWER

No solution

EXPLANATION

The first equation is

y =  {x}^{2}  - 2x

and the second equation is

y =  - 2x  - 1

We equate the two equations to obtain;

{x}^{2}  - 2x =  - 2x - 1

This implies that

{x}^{2}  =  - 2x + 2x - 1

{x}^{2}  =  - 1

There is no real number whose square is -1.

Therefore, the equation has no solution.
