Which graph correctly solves the system of equations below? y = x2 + 3x + 4 y = x2 + 2x + 1

OpenStudy (destinykiara99):

I can't post the graphs, but I need to find where they intersect.

OpenStudy (prathamesh_m):

Do you want to solve it graphically or algebraically?

OpenStudy (destinykiara99):

My answers are in graph form, but I understand the algebraic way better.

OpenStudy (prathamesh_m):

Then equate the two functions: \[x ^{2}+3x+4=x ^{2}+2x+1\]

OpenStudy (prathamesh_m):

x squared gets cancelled and then its a simple linear equation.

OpenStudy (destinykiara99):

\[x=-3\]

OpenStudy (prathamesh_m):

Yes that's right.
