Question

Choose all of the ordered pairs that are solutions to the equation y = x2 + 1.

A. (-2, 5)
B. (-1,0)
7. (1, 2)
D. (2, 4)
E. (3, 10)

Answer 1

A, C, E

Explanation:

Substitute the x- coordinate of the points into the equation and if the result is equal to the y- coordinate of the point then it is a solution.

A (- 2, 5 )

y = 2² + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 → (- 2, 5 ) is a solution

B (- 1, 0 )

y = (- 1)² + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 ≠ 0 ← not a solution

C (1, 2 )

y = 1² + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 → (1, 2 ) is a solution

D (2, 4 )

y = 2² + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 ≠ 4 ← not a solution

E (3, 10 )

y = 3² + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10 → (3, 10 ) is a solution
