Q. y=x2y=x^{2}\newliney=1,002x2,000y=1,002x-2,000\newlineIf \newline(x1,y1)(x_{1},y_{1}) and \newline(x2,y2)(x_{2},y_{2}) are distinct solutions to the system of equations shown, what is the sum of \newlinex1x_{1} and \newlinex2x_{2} ?
  1. Set Equations Equal: We are given the system of equations:\newliney=x2y = x^2\newliney=1,002x2,000y = 1,002x - 2,000\newlineTo find the xx-coordinates of the solutions, we need to set the two equations equal to each other because they both equal yy.\newlinex2=1,002x2,000x^2 = 1,002x - 2,000
  2. Rearrange to Quadratic Form: Now we need to solve for xx. To do this, we will rearrange the equation into a standard quadratic form.x21,002x+2,000=0x^2 - 1,002x + 2,000 = 0
  3. Apply Quadratic Formula: To find the solutions for xx, we can use the quadratic formula: x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}, where a=1a = 1, b=1,002b = -1,002, and c=2,000c = 2,000. However, we are asked for the sum of the solutions, which according to Vieta's formulas, is equal to ba-\frac{b}{a}.
  4. Use Vieta's Formulas: Using Vieta's formulas, the sum of the solutions for the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is ba-\frac{b}{a}. So, the sum of x1x_{1} and x2x_{2} is 1,0021.-\frac{-1,002}{1}.
  5. Calculate the Sum: Calculating the sum gives us:\newlineSum = 1,0021\frac{1,002}{1}\newlineSum = 1,0021,002
