Example 2

Use a graph to estimate the real solution(s), if any, to the system of equations . Verify that any identified coordinate pairs are solutions.
  1. Create a graph of the two functions, and .
  2. Find the coordinates of any apparent intersections.
  3. Verify that the identified coordinate pairs are solutions to the original system of equations.
