Q:

Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu.Consider the equations y=√x and y=x² -1The system of equations is equal at approximately A.(1.5,1.2)B.(-1.5,-1.2)C.(1.5,-1.2)D.(-1.5,1.2)

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Choice A.Step.-by-step explanation: y=√x y=x² -1Substituting the values in choice A:1.2 = √1.5 = 1.2247     Approximately equal.1.2 = (1.5)^2 - 1 = 1.25   Approximately equal.Choice B.-1.2 = √-1.5  which is imaginary so NOT this one.Choice C-1.2 = √1.5 = -1.2247-1.2 = (1.5)^2 - 1 = 1.25  NO.Choice D We have the non real value √-1.5 again so NOT this one.
