Short Answer

Graph each equation of the system. Then solve the system to find the points of intersection.
y=x2+1y=4x+1

Solutions of system of equationsy=x2+1y=4x+1 are (0,1) & (4,17) and the graph is

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given data 

The given system of equations is

y=x2+1 (i)y=4x+1 (ii)

Step 2. Graph of the system of equations 

Plot the graph of y=x2+1 & y=4x+1on same cartesian plane

Step 3. Solution of system 

subtract equation ii from equation i

y-y=x2+1-4x+10=x2-4x0=x(x-4)

By zero product property

x-4=0x=4

or

x=0

So x=0 & 4

Step 4. Solution of system 

Substitute x=0 in equation ii

role="math" localid="1646869492730" y=4x+1y=4(0)+1y=1

Substituterole="math" localid="1646869479187" x=4 in equation ii

role="math" localid="1646869502982" y=4x+1y=4(4)+1y=17

So solutions of the system are role="math" localid="1646869524607" (0,1) & (4,17)

Step 5. Verification 

Substitute x=0 &y=1in the system

1=02+11=4(0)+11=11=1

Substitute x=4 & y=17 in system

17=(4)2+117=4(4)+117=1717=17

The system of equations is satisfied by both solutions

so solutions (0,1) & (4,17) are correct

Step 6. Point of intersection 

Locate the(0,1) & (4,17) for point of interception in the graph of a system of equations
