Question

Help me out please!

Answer 1

Okay i need some help, if someone could please show me the steps on how to solve this, this is a practice problem. Thanks :)

y = x^2 + 1
y = x + 1

Best answer gets medal! ^_^

Answer 2

@xXKittyXx

It would be easier to help you if instructions were given for the problem.
Are you looking for a solution to this system of equations?

y = x^2 + 1
y = x + 1

Answer 3

Hmm guess that would help! haha, well it said to solve and then graph...

Answer 4

Answer 5

y = x^2 + 1
y = x + 1

In this system of equations, one is a parabola and the other is a line. A line can intersect a parabola in zero points, one point, or at most, 2 points.

At a point of intersection, the x and y coordinates for that point are the same.

y = x^2 + 1
y = x + 1

x^2 + 1 = x + 1 is the equation to solve.

Subtract one from both sides and then solve for value(s) of x.

Then, the y value(s) tha correspond to the x-values are needed.

And, then the graphs which should interesect wherever the algebra indicates.

First Step: x^2 + 1 = x + 1 --> Solve for x @xXKittyXx
