Question 2 • EAP-Algebra Functions and Data Analysis A CR

Which point is a solution to the system x2 + y2 ≤ 25 and x < y2 – 2?

Answer
A
(–5, 0)
B
(–2, 0)
C
(5, 0)
D
(2, 2)

Explanation

For (−5, 0), the first inequality gives (−5)² + 0² = 25, which is at most 25. The second gives −5 < 0² − 2, or −5 < −2, which is true. So (−5, 0) satisfies both inequalities and is the correct choice.
