1 answer

To determine which system of equations has no real solutions, we can analyze each pair of equations:

  1. y = -x² + 2 and y = x²

    • The first equation is a downward-opening parabola with its vertex at (0, 2).
    • The second equation is an upward-opening parabola with its vertex at (0, 0).
    • These two parabolas do intersect at two real points, so this system has real solutions.
  2. y = x² + 1 and y = -x² - 1

    • The first equation is an upward-opening parabola with its vertex at (0, 1).
    • The second equation is a downward-opening parabola with its vertex at (0, -1).
    • The distance between the vertices and the nature of their openings (one opens up and the other opens down) shows that they are always apart; thus, this system has no real solutions.
  3. y = x² and y = x + 1

    • The first equation is an upward-opening parabola and the second is a linear equation.
    • They will intersect at two real points.
  4. y = 3x + 1 and y = 2x + 2

    • These are both linear equations. By rearranging, we can find their point of intersection:
      • 3x + 1 = 2x + 2 -> x = 1.
      • When x = 1, y = 4.
    • So this system has a real solution.

From the analysis above, the only pair of equations that has no real solutions is:

y = x² + 1 and y = -x² - 1.
