Solve the following system of equations:

[tex]\[
\begin{array}{l}
y = 3x^2 + 6x + 4 \\
y = -3x^2 + 4
\end{array}
\][/tex]

Sagot :

Sure, let's solve the system of equations step by step.

We are given two equations:
[tex]\[ y = 3x^2 + 6x + 4 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y = -3x^2 + 4 \][/tex]

To find the solution, we will set the two equations equal to each other because they both equal [tex]\(y\)[/tex].

[tex]\[ 3x^2 + 6x + 4 = -3x^2 + 4 \][/tex]

First, we move all terms to one side to set up the equation for solving [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 3x^2 + 6x + 4 + 3x^2 - 4 = 0 \][/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]\[ 6x^2 + 6x = 0 \][/tex]

Factor out the common term [tex]\(6x\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 6x(x + 1) = 0 \][/tex]

This gives us two possible solutions for [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 6x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad (x + 1) = 0 \][/tex]

Solving these equations, we get:

[tex]\[ x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -1 \][/tex]

Now, we need to find the corresponding [tex]\(y\)[/tex]-values for each [tex]\(x\)[/tex] by substituting these [tex]\(x\)[/tex]-values into either of the original equations. Let's use [tex]\(y = 3x^2 + 6x + 4\)[/tex].

1. For [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ y = 3(0)^2 + 6(0) + 4 = 4 \][/tex]

So, one solution is [tex]\((0, 4)\)[/tex].

2. For [tex]\( x = -1 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ y = 3(-1)^2 + 6(-1) + 4 = 3 - 6 + 4 = 1 \][/tex]

So, another solution is [tex]\((-1, 1)\)[/tex].

Thus, the solutions to the system of equations are:

[tex]\[ \boxed{(0, 4) \ \text{and} \ (-1, 1)} \][/tex]
