We notice that the curve entities are a line and a
parabola. We'll re-write their equations:
y = 2x + 1, line
equation
y =x^2 + x + 1, parabola
equation
The common points, which are located on the line
and parabola in the same time, are the intercepting points of the line and
parabola.
So, the y coordinate of the point verify the
equation of the line and the equation of the parabola, in the same
time.
2x+1=x^2+x+1
We'll move
all term to the left side and we'll combine like
terms:
x^2-x=0
We'll factorize
by x:
x*(x-1)=0
We'll put each
factor as
zero:
x=0
x-1=0
We'll
add 1 both
sides:
Now,
we'll substitute the value of x in the equation of the line, because it is much more
easier to determine
y.
y=2x+1
x=0
y=2*0+1,
y=1
So the first pair of coordinates of crossing point:
A(0,1)
x=1
y=2*1+1=3
So
the second pair of coordinates of crossing point:
B(1,3).
So, there are 2 common points and
they are: (0,1) and (1,3).
