Factor 4
4=1 times 4
2 times 2
they don't add to 2
set up equation
x+y=2
xy=4
first equation, subtract x from both sides
y=2-x
subsitute for y
x(2-x)=4
distribute
2x-x^2=4
add x^2
2x=x^2+4
subtract 2x
0=x^2-2x+4
use quadratic formula which is
if you have ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x=
so
1x^2-2x+4=0
a=1
b=-2
c=4
x=
x=
x=
we have
and that doesn't give a real solution
therefor there are no real solutions
but if you want to solve fully
x=
i=
x=
x=
x=
or x=

Note: The function is below the graph, so it is less than.
Check the picture below.
notice, the dashed line is the "continuation" of the graph, however, for the constraints in the piece-wise, is excluded.
