Question

How to find points of intersection between y = x^2 and y = -x^2 + 8?

Answer 1

\[y = x^2\] \[y = -x^2 + 8\]

Answer 2

equate them to one another

\[x^2 = -x^2 + 8\]
then solve for x

do you need more help?

Answer 3

Thank you! It also says to create a table of values for each equation. How is that done?

Answer 4

im thinking you just do something like this


in the drawing the equation is y = x^2
then, i assigned values for x and solved for y

when x = 1, y = 1
when x = 2, y = 2^2 = 4
when x = 3, y = 3^2 = 9

and so on...

got it?
