Q. Solve the system of equations.\newliney=x22x41y = x^2 - 2x - 41\newliney=2x16y = -2x - 16\newline\newlineWrite the coordinates in exact form. Simplify all fractions and radicals.\newline(______,______)\newline(______,______)
  1. Set Equations Equal: We have the system of equations:\newliney=x22x41y = x^2 - 2x - 41\newliney=2x16y = -2x - 16\newlineTo find the intersection points, we set the two equations equal to each other.\newlinex22x41=2x16x^2 - 2x - 41 = -2x - 16
  2. Simplify and Rearrange: Simplify the equation by adding 2x2x and 1616 to both sides to get the equation in standard quadratic form.\newlinex22x41+2x+16=2x16+2x+16x^2 - 2x - 41 + 2x + 16 = -2x - 16 + 2x + 16\newlinex225=0x^2 - 25 = 0
  3. Solve Quadratic Equation: Solve the quadratic equation for xx.x225=0x^2 - 25 = 0This is a difference of squares, which can be factored as:(x5)(x+5)=0(x - 5)(x + 5) = 0
  4. Factor and Solve: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for xx.(x5)=0 or (x+5)=0(x - 5) = 0 \text{ or } (x + 5) = 0x=5 or x=5x = 5 \text{ or } x = -5
  5. Substitute for y: Find the corresponding yy values for each xx by substituting xx back into one of the original equations. We'll use y=2x16y = -2x - 16. For x=5x = 5: y=2(5)16y = -2(5) - 16 y=1016y = -10 - 16 y=26y = -26
  6. Find yy for x=5x=-5: Find the yy value for x=5x = -5:
    y=2(5)16y = -2(-5) - 16
    y=1016y = 10 - 16
    y=6y = -6
  7. Write Coordinates: Write the coordinates in exact form.\newlineFirst Coordinate: (5,26)(5, -26)\newlineSecond Coordinate: (5,6)(-5, -6)
