Systems of quadratic equations worksheet for Algebra 2
Set the two expressions equal and you get a quadratic. Its solutions are the x values where the curves meet, and each one gives a point. If that quadratic has no real solution, the curves never meet.
Also taught in Precalculus and Algebra 1, each at its own level and with its own examples.

How to do these
Solve and
- Set them equal: x² - 2x - 3 = x - 3.
- That gives x² - 3x = 0, so x = 0 or x = 3.
- Put each back into the line to get y.
The answer is and .
Where students go wrong
Stopping at the x values. A system of two curves is answered with points, so each x needs its y. The other slip is substituting back into the parabola, which works but is more arithmetic than using the line.
Also called parabola and line intersection, nonlinear systems or quadratic linear systems.
