Question

Which represents the solution of the graphed system of equations, y=x^2-2x and y=-2x-1

Answer 1

Answer:

x = √(-1) = i

Since the value of √(-1) is not real.

The system has no real solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the system of equations is at the point where they intercept each other.

y1 = y2

For the given equation;

y=x^2-2x and y=-2x-1

To get the where they intercept, we will equal both equations;

y=x^2-2x = -2x-1

x^2 - 2x = -2x - 1

x^2 - 2x + 2x + 1 =0

x^2 +1 = 0

x^2 = -1

x = √(-1) = i

Since the value of √(-1) is not real.

The system has no real solution.
