solve the following system of equations.
\n" ); document.write( "y = (y-2)^2 -4
\n" ); document.write( "y= -1/2
\n" ); document.write( "========
\n" ); document.write( "Supposedly, y = -1/2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Checking in the 1st equation::
\n" ); document.write( "-1/2 = (-1/2 - 2)^2 -4
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "-1/2 = (-5/2)^2 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "-1/2 = (25/4) - (16/4)
\n" ); document.write( "-1/2 = 9/4
\n" ); document.write( "That is a contradiction.
\n" ); document.write( "----
