y=x^2 + x - 2
x + y = 1
Replace y in the second equation:
x + x^2 + x -2 = 1
Simplify:
x^2 + 2x -2 = 1
Subtract 1 from both sides:
x^2 + 2x -3 = 0
Factor:
(x-1) (x+3) = 0
Solve for both x's:
x = 1 and x = -3
Now replace x in the second equation and solve for y using both x values:
1 + y = 1, y = 0
-3 + y = 1, y = 4
Now you have (1,0) and (-3,4) as solutions for (x,y)
XY = x times y:
1 x 0 = 0
-3 x 4 = -12
The answer would be -12
Answer:Although the Quadratic Formula always works as a strategy to solve quadratic equations, for many problems it is not the most efficient method. Sometimes it is faster to factor or complete the square or even just "out-think" the problem. For each equation below, choose the method you think is most efficient to solve the equation and explain your reason. Note that you do not actually need to solve the equation. a. x2+7x−8=0x
2
+7x−8=0, b. (x+2)2=49(x+2)
2
=49, c. 5x2−x−7=05x
2
−x−7=0, d. x2+4x=−1x
2
+4x=−1.
