Answer:
(- 1, 1 ) and (2, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = x + 2 → (1)
y = x² → (2)
Substitute y = x² into (1)
x² = x + 2 ( subtract x + 2 from both sides )
x² - x - 2 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 2)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
Substitute these values into (1) for corresponding values of y
x = 2 → y = 2 + 2 = 4 ⇒ (2, 4 )
x = - 1 → y = - 1 + 2 = 1 ⇒ (- 1, 1 )
