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

A

(1,2)(1, 2)

B

(1,1)(1, 1)

C

(2,4)(2, 4)

D

No solution

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer.

  1. Set equal: x2+1=2xx^2 + 1 = 2x.
  2. Rearrange: x22x+1=0x^2 - 2x + 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 yeq1y eq 1. Choice C is incorrect because xeq2x eq 2. Choice D is incorrect.
