Question

What is the solution to Y=-2x²+4x+8
Y=-4x+16

Answer 1

Hi there!

`\large\boxed{(2, 8)}`

Solve by setting the two equations equal to each other:

-2x² + 4x + 8 = -4x + 16

Move all terms to one side:

-2x² + 4x + 4x + 8 - 16 = 0

Simplify:

-2x² + 8x - 8 = 0

Factor out a negative 2 from each term:

-2(x² - 4x + 4) = 0

Factor:

-2(x - 2)² = 0

Set the factor equal to 0 to solve:

(x - 2)² = 0

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

Substitute this value of x into an equation to find the shared y value:

y = -4(2) + 16 = 8
