Is (1, 5) a solution to the following system of equations? Show and explain why or why not.

[tex]f(x)=3x+2[/tex]
[tex]g(x)=[x-1]+1[/tex]

Answer:

The solution(s) to a system of equations is the point(s) of intersection.

To find the solution, equate the equations and solve for x to find the x-coordinate:

[tex]\implies f(x)=g(x)[/tex]

[tex]\implies 3x+2=[x-1]+1[/tex]

[tex]\implies 3x+2=x[/tex]

[tex]\implies 2x=-2[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=-1[/tex]

Now substitute the value of x into one of the equations to find the y-coordinate of the solution:

[tex]f(-1)=3(-1)+2=-1[/tex]

So the solution to this system of equations is (-1, -1)

Therefore, (1, 5) is NOT a solution to the system of equations.

Let's check

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail y=3x+2[/tex]

  • Put (1,5)

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 5=3+2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 5=5[/tex]

Verified

And

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail y=[x-1]+1[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 5=1-1+1[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 5\neq 1[/tex]

No
