Which system has no solution?

A

y=x2y = x^2 and y=5y = -5

B

y=x2y = x^2 and y=5y = 5

C

y=x2y = x^2 and y=xy = x

D

y=x2y = x^2 and y=2x1y = 2x - 1

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer.

  • A: x2=5x^2 = -5. Impossible. (No solution).
  • B: x2=5x^2 = 5. Two solutions.
  • C: x2=xx^2 = x. Two solutions (0,10, 1).
  • D: x2=2x1x^2 = 2x - 1. One solution (11).

Choice B is incorrect because it has 2 solutions. Choice C is incorrect because it has 2 solutions (0,10, 1). Choice D is incorrect because it has 1 solution.
