Answer

$(0,1), (-3,4)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the system: $\begin{cases} y=x^2+2x+1\\ x+y=1 \end{cases}$ We will use the substitution method. Substitute the expression of $y$ in Equation 2 to eliminate $y$ and determine $x$: $x+(x^2+2x+1)=1$ $x^2+3x+1=1$ $x^2+3x=0$ $x(x+3)=0$ $x=0\Rightarrow x_1=0$ $x+3=0\Rightarrow x_2=-3$ Substitute each of the values of $x$ in the expression of $y$ to determine $y$: $y=x^2+2x+1$ $x_1=0\Rightarrow y_1=0^2+2(0)+1=1$ $x_2=-3\Rightarrow y_2=(-3)^2+2(-3)+1=4$ The system's solutions are: $(0,1), (-3,4)$
