Answer 1

Answer:

x = ± 4

y = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 0.5x² - 10 ------------------------(I)

y = -x² + 14   ------------------------(II)

Substitute the y value in equation (II)

    0.5x² - 10  = -x² + 14           {Add x² to both sides}            

0.5x² + x² -10 = 14                  {combine like terms}

       1.5x² - 10 = 14                   {Add 10 to both sides}

               1.5x² = 14 + 10

                1.5x² = 24         {Divide both sides by 1.5}

               1.5x²/1.5 = 24/1.5

                       x² = 16

                      x = ±4

Substitute x = 4 in (I)

y = 0.5 * 4² - 10

 = 0.5*16 - 10

 = 8- 10

y = -2

Substitute x = -4 in (I)

y = 0.5 * (-4)² - 10

 = 0.5*16 - 10

 = 8- 10

y = -2
