Which represents the solution(s) of the system of equations, y = x2 – 4x – 21 and y = –5x – 22? Determine the solution set algebraically.


(–1, –17)

(1, –27)

(–1, –17) and (1, –27)

no solutions

Verified Answer :

Answer:

D. No solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a system of equations and we are asked to find the solution set for our given system.

\(y=x^2-4x-21\)

\(y=-5x-22\)

To find the solution for our given system we will equate our both equations as:

\(x^2-4x-21=-5x-22\)

\(x^2-4x+5x-21=-5x+5x-22\)

\(x^2+x-21=-22\)

\(x^2+x-21+22=-22+22\)

\(x^2+x+1=0\)  

We will use discriminant formula to check for the solution of our given system.

\(\sqrt{b^2-4ac} \geq 0\) for real solutions.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

\(\sqrt{1^2-4*1*1} \geq 0\)

\(\sqrt{1-4} \geq 0\)

\(\sqrt{-3} geq 0\)

Therefore, our given system has no solutions and option D is the correct choices.
