SOLUTION: Use substitution to find where the two parabolas below intersect. Then confirm your solution by graphing both on the same set of axes. y=x^2+5 y=x^2+2x+1

Question 945378: Use substitution to find where the two parabolas below intersect. Then confirm your solution by graphing both on the same set of axes.
y=x^2+5
y=x^2+2x+1

Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Subtract x^2 from each side
Subtract 1 from each side
Divide each side by two

Substitute in the two original equations and find y

So the two graphs intersect at the point (2,9)
