Solve the system of equations: y = x2 + x – 1 and y = x – 1?

2. Is 9×2 + 12xy + 9y2 a perfect square trinomial?

A. Yes
B. No

3. Solve 3×2 – 2x = 4 by using the quadratic formula.

4. What is the value of the discriminant for the quadratic equation 2×2 – 3x + 1 = 0?

5. When 3x – x2 – 6 + 2x is factored completely, one of the factors is…

1.) y=x²+x-1 and y=x-1

x-1 = x²+x-1
0 = x²
x = 0
y = -1

2.) no (3x+3y)² = 9x²+18xy+9y²

3) use the quadratic formula (-b±√(b²-4ac))/2a in this case b = -2, a = 3, c = -4

4) discriminant is √(b²-4ac) in this case √9-4*1*2 = 1

5) -(x²-5x+6) = -((x-3)(x-2)) = (3-x)(x-2)

hope this helps
