Solve the system of equations y=3x+2 y=x2-4x+2
1 answer:
Answer:
(x, y) = (0, 2), (7, 23)
Step-by-step explanation:
I find a graphing calculator to be a quick and easy tool for finding the solution. The attached shows the solutions to be ...
(x, y) ∈ {(0, 2), (7, 23)}
__
Equating the expressions for y, we have a quadratic equation. It can be put into standard form and factored.
3x +2 = x^2 -4x +2
0 = x^2 -7x = x(x -7)
Solutions are values of x that make these factors zero, so are ...
x = 0 and x = 7
Corresponding values of y are ...
y = 3·0 +2 = 2 . . . (0, 2) is one solution
y = 3·7 +2 = 23 . . . (7, 23) is the other solution
