Maths · Quadratic equations in real and complex number systems and their solutions

What are the solution(s) to the system of equations and

What are the solution(s) to the system of equations \( \boldsymbol{y}=\boldsymbol{x}^{2}-\mathbf{9} \) and \( \boldsymbol{y}-\boldsymbol{3}= \) \( x ? \)

  • A. -3,0 and 4,7
  • B. -3,0
  • C. 4,7
  • D. 4,-3

Step-by-step solution

Solve the system: y = x^2 - 9 and y - 3 = x => y = x + 3. Substitute: x + 3 = x^2 - 9 => x^2 - x - 12 = 0 => (x-4)(x+3)=0 => x=4 or x=-3. Corresponding y: y=7 for x=4, y=0 for x=-3. Solutions: (-3,0) and (4,7). Option A lists both pairs.
