The two functions should never intersect.

Since y = y, we can equate the other side of both equations together.

x^2 + 2x + 1 = x^2 + 2x - 2

Rearrange the equation to bring all the terms to one side.

0 = x^2 - x^2 + 2x - 2x - 2 - 1

0 = -3

You can see that does not make sense, so we can conclude that there are no points of intersection between the two functions.

I also graphed the functions. In the first pic you can see that the red is between the blue and they don't intersect. In the second pic I zoomed in so you can see the right side of the graph going up to y = 600 and the red is still between the blue.

Solve the equation simultaneously. Y=x² + 2x + 1, Y= x²+2x - 2.. Solve for the values-example-1
