Set 6: Quadratic Equations (Advanced)

Explanation

Answer: A

Solve the system: y=x2+1y = x^2 + 1 and y=2xy = 2x.

A.

(1,2)(1, 2)

✓ Correct
B.

(1,1)(1, 1)

C.

(2,4)(2, 4)

D.

No solution

Detailed Explanation

Choice A is correct. Choice A is the correct answer. 1. Set equal: x2+1=2xx^2 + 1 = 2 x. 2. Rearrange: x22x+1=0x^2 - 2 x + 1 = 0. 3. Factor: (x1)2=0(x - 1)^2 = 0. 4. Solve: x=1x = 1 (one repeated solution, meaning the line is tangent). 5. Find y: y=2(1)=2y = 2(1) = 2. 6. Point: (1,2)(1, 2). Choice B is incorrect because y1y \neq 1. Choice C is incorrect because x2x \neq 2. Choice D is incorrect.

Key Steps:

The correct answer is (1,2)(1, 2)

Why others are wrong:
B: Choice B is incorrect and may result from a calculation error.
C: Choice C is incorrect and may result from a calculation error.
D: Choice D is incorrect and may result from a calculation error.
